Remember when 8,219 North Idahoans voted Scott Herndon out of office in the May Primary? Fifty-two percent of District 1 voters sent a message to Mr. Herndon that he was out of touch with his constituents and their values. Why would we expect any different representation from a Herndon-endorsed County Commissioner candidate?
I’m speaking here of candidate Brian Domke. If a majority of voters voted for change in May, why vote for more of the same Herndon-esque representation in November?
I’ve known Domke’s opponent, Steve Johnson, for years. He is a farmer, a builder, a former teacher, a father of four, and one of the most humble, down-to-earth people I’ve ever met. He is the type of person that always replies to your emails, texts, and calls. His values reflect a love and respect of the rural life: responsible growth, individual freedoms, and financial accountability– just to name a few. Be it his career experience, profound volunteer work, or his personal authenticity, I know of no person more fit for the County Commissioner seat than Steve.
Let’s get the Board of County Commissioners back on track– let’s elect Steve Johnson!
