Vote for Rognstad in Sandpoint

Vote for Shelby Rognstad in the Nov. 3 election for Sandpoint mayor. Rognstad wants to bring clean, high-tech firms here that provide good-paying jobs. He drafted a zoning plan that keeps Sandpoint affordable, with no sprawl, and is environmentally sensitive.

He created a herbicide-free, hand-pulling program to rid our lake of invasive weeds. He supported railroad quiet zones in town. And he has a solution to downtown parking.

Rognstad is a good listener, negotiator and problem-solver. With his eight years in city government, and as a small-business owner, he will bring to us valuable experience, farsightedness and sensitivity of our lifestyle.

So, come out and vote for this very able and exceptional candidate for mayor, Shelby Rongstad.
