McAlister a fine choice

Sat., Oct. 15, 2016

Kate McAlister is a fine choice for District 1A representative to the Idaho Legislature. Kate works effectively to broaden economic opportunity in our area, through her leadership of the local Chamber of Commerce, her support for expanding fiber optic networks and her involvement with education.

Kate knows firsthand that fiscal responsibility and balancing budgets is important. We can count on her to keep public expenditures in line and to spend taxpayer money wisely.

Kate will represent the breadth of community values; she listens well to all and does not take extreme positions. We encourage you to vote for Kate McAlister.
