Dear Editor,
Kate McAlister knows how to create new jobs, improve education, and help bring in vitally needed internet infrastructure that supports our needs. Kate has extensive experience collaborating with business, education and local government leaders.
The incumbent, Heather Scott, seems fearful and holds extreme views. Believing that Sharia Law would somehow overtake Idaho, she voted against a bill that would allow an Idaho parent to collect child support from a U.S. parent overseas. Our governor then had to reconvene the legislature—at unnecessary, taxpayer expense—to finally pass a bill, again with no help from Ms. Scott.
Kate McAlister has the experience, temperament and rationality to represent ALL of us in the Idaho House of Representatives. 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.
