Be proud of Amador

Given the current climate of the presidential race, I have heard many people say they are not going to vote this year. This genuinely concerns me because we have the opportunity to vote for many important local races and we have a responsibility to elect strong local representatives.

Early voting has started in Kootenai County, and I encourage voters to get to the polls and let their voices be heard. In one local race, there is a clear choice that will best serve our community in the Idaho Legislature. Paul Amador, Republican for House Seat 4B, has the experience, knowledge and demeanor to be an excellent state representative. I have known Paul for many years and can assure you he will represent the people of our great community with integrity and honesty; he will be a politician of whom we can be proud.

We need representatives like Paul who are active in our community, are respected for their character and understand what is important to Coeur d’Alene and Idaho. Our state legislators make decisions that directly affect us all, please join me in voting for our community by supporting Republican Paul Amador for House Seat 4B.
