We Need to Pay Attention to Who Represents Us

Let's Talk More About the Importance of Who Represents and Our Values

There's A LOT going on right now that makes it clear that many of our current "representatives" don't have our best interests in mind. 1. A few legislators gathered for a meeting (let's not pretend like it was a special session of anything) to prate about WHATEVER. These are the same folks that couldn't be bothered to address property taxes last session. https://www.postregister.com/opinion/editorials/a-footnote-in-the-history-of-insurrections/article_de16b1a6-08d5-53d4-a805-85fb74d328f2.html2. Thanks to Reclaim Idaho for actually taking action and doing SOMETHING. It's great to know that we have real leaders in the State of Idaho, ready to move forward with things that matter to us. https://www.idahoednews.org/news/federal-judge-revives-reclaim-idaho-initiative/3. Rather than addressing property taxes and education (or infrastructure or public land access), our legislators instead spent last session making bad (and expensive) policy for problems that don't exist. We need to focus on electing people ready to do the people's business, not try to score culture warrior points with the Idaho "Freedom" Foundation. https://www.idahostatesman.com/opinion/readers-opinion/article243720302.html4. No matter your political leanings, it's concerning when a party tries to grab more power. This weekend, some so-called leaders will try their best to rig the system to reduce the power of voters. https://twitter.com/NateBrownNews/status/12751062592182640665. Hey, don't forget to request your ballot for November's election! You can do that online at IdahoVotes.gov.

There’s A LOT going on right now that makes it clear that many of our current “representatives” don’t have our best interests in mind.

1. A few legislators gathered for a meeting (let’s not pretend like it was a special session of anything) to prate about WHATEVER. These are the same folks that couldn’t be bothered to address property taxes last session.
