Objective thinkers needed

Ever wonder why Idaho always shows up on those election night maps as reliably red, with no doubt as to outcomes? How can that be, when Idaho’s population is increasingly diverse; when so many people here are hungry, sick, housing-insecure or jobless; when the natural resources that have been Idaho’s bread and butter are under threat; when even conservative voters are disgusted by shenanigans coming from the White House and Congress?
 
Idaho’s Congressional delegation and District 5 Republican Legislators do a disservice to constituents they purportedly represent. Whatever humanitarian inclinations they may have in their personal lives are abandoned when partisan votes come to the floor. The lives and livelihoods of everyday Idahoans come in second when opportunities arise to demonstrate that they are lock-step Republicans. Why else would members of the U.S. House and Senate reliably give full-throated endorsement of a president who is so self-serving and puts our health, healthcare, jobs, environment and hard-earned international reputation in jeopardy? Such matters ought not be partisan at all. We’re alarmed that some Republicans appear to be running on anti-government platforms. Why would someone run for elected office, just to be obstructionist and create chaos?
 
We’re voting for candidates who’ll restore civil discourse, genuine debate, fresh ideas, bipartisan problem-solving and science-based urgency to address climate change. We’re voting for candidates who will help restore our Nation’s reputation for compassion, opportunity, fairness, strength, integrity and leadership. We’re voting for candidates who will think objectively, put people ahead of partisanship, work with counterparts on both sides of the aisle, and who consider government the people’s tool to make life better and fairer for everyone
.
We’ve already voted for Paulette Jordan (U.S. Senate), Rudy Soto (U.S. House), David Nelson (Idaho Senate), Dulce Kersting-Lark (Idaho House 5A), and Renee Love (Idaho House 5B). Please join us.
