Dear Editor,
Kate McAlister is an excellent candidate for Idaho District 1 representative. She has long been an advocate for business in North Idaho. For years she has served as ED for the Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce and has earned the trust and confidence of the Bonner County business community and elected officials in Idaho. She has been intimately involved in the economic prosperity in our region. She is intelligent, informed and influential.
McAlister has great integrity and is sensitive to the issues that concern North Idaho. She focuses on issues, not party politics. She has the strength and determination necessary to ensure that our concerns are addressed in the State legislature. North Idaho would do well to have Kate McAlister representing District 1 in Boise.
Please join me and vote for Kate on Nov. 8.

While we have you ...
... if you appreciate that access to the news, opinion, humor, entertainment and cultural reporting in the Sandpoint Reader is freely available in our print newspaper as well as here on our website, we have a favor to ask. The Reader is locally owned and free of the large corporate, big-money influence that affects so much of the media today. We're supported entirely by our valued advertisers and readers. We're committed to continued free access to our paper and our website here with NO PAYWALL - period. But of course, it does cost money to produce the Reader. If you're a reader who appreciates the value of an independent, local news source, we hope you'll consider a voluntary contribution. You can help support the Reader for as little as $1.
