Vote for Connolly

Add Spokesman-Review on Google

Jeff Connolly is well-prepared to be a Bonner County Commissioner who restores calm and common sense to county government. He has 14 years leadership experience on Priest River City Council, a career in local private industry (both as employer and employee) and collaborative problem solving service that has helped create over 400 private sector jobs right here.

His opponent, in less than two years, is reported to have generated expensive lawsuits against Bonner County, violated county codes and violated Idaho open meeting laws. He appears to have an agenda of reckless change that he’s not sharing with voters. That’s not leadership.

Elect Jeff Connolly on May 17, the Republican primary ballot. Choose responsive, responsible county government that works constructively with all, represents us all and is fiscally responsible. No party affiliation? Request a Republican ballot and register Republican on the spot. Not registered? When you go to vote, bring proof of residence and photo ID to register.
