Goedde vs. Souza

Here are the Coeur d’Alene Press links to the Senate District 4 GOPrimary race:

• Mary Souza: Mary Souza’s number one priority as a state legislator would be to push back against what she perceives as the federal government’s “over-reach” into state law. “I am concerned about the over-reach of the federal government into our individual and state’s rights,” Souza said. “We’ve seen it with the Obamacare exchange. We’ve seen it with Common Core in our schools, and we will see it even more if Medicaid is expanded in Idaho. “We need new leadership in Boise,” she added. Complete candidate profile here.
• John Goedde: While he has earned the seniority to chair other committees in the Senate, incumbent Sen. John Goedde said his top priority hasn’t changed in 14 years. It is still education, he said. “I have chaired the Senate Education Committee now for a decade. I have served on the committee for 14 years and I had three years on the local school board before that,” he said. “I had the opportunity this last year to accept the chairmanship of commerce and resources, but I chose to stay in education because of what I perceive its importance to be for the future of Idaho.” Goedde profile here.

Question: Any Mary supporters out there?
