Dear Editor,
Upon looking at all the mud slinging that has gone on this election both locally and nationally mostly by one party it leaves one to think, is there any hope for this country?
I have to think there is hope and that only hope is to turn to our creator and pray voters would look beyond the wild claims and smears that are out there. I have done just that and feel we must elect people like Heather Scott and Sage Dixon for state representatives. We have in Sheriff Daryl Wheeler a man of integrity, honesty and I believe a man that stands between freedom and anarchy. All three of these candidates represent North Idaho values and will do us well. I also feel Steve Tanner, the Democrat, is the better candidate for state senator.
