Labrador governor tour makes Post Falls stop Wednesday

Republican U.S. Rep. Raul Labrador promised Wednesday to lower taxes, expand school choice and eliminate Common Core if elected Governor of Idaho, during the second stop of his campaign.

A crowd of about 80 people, mostly made up of veterans and elderly people, gathered at the American Legion Hall in Post Falls to hear the congressman speak. A prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance were recited at the beginning of the event, with Labrador promising to preserve conservative values in Idaho if elected.

Labrador started his speech by declaring his intention to expand school choice and local control in Idaho, promising to reinforce the state’s already well-established charter school system/ Abby Lynes , SR. More here.
