Dear Editor,
I’m writing this letter of endorsement for Carol Kunzeman, a candidate for Bonner County commissioner in the Republican primary, because we need local officials who are respectful and listen to their constituents.
Carol served two terms as mayor in Ponderay and understands what it takes to balance a budget and attend to the basic needs of the local community. She also helped mend fences between Sandpoint and Ponderay, and developed good relationships with people in state and national offices.
She cares about families and the quality of life of people in Bonner County, and was central to getting the SPOT bus established and investing in Ponderay’s Field of Dreams. Carol is open-minded, cautious and respectable. She has the kind of experience, character and communications skills that will make for a good county commissioner.
Please join me in voting for Carol Kunzeman in the Republican primary election on May 15.
Richard Warren
