I have been working with Karen Matthee, candidate for Representative running against Mark Sauter, for 10 months now. She inspires me everyday with her drive to help make lives better for all Idahoans.
After knocking on 1,500-plus doors, Karen has heard stories about high property taxes and schools closing in Priest Lake. She hears about women waiting over three months to see a gynecologist in Coeur D’Alene – because we have lost all of our OB-GYN’s here in Sandpoint.
Karen has made your concerns her concerns. She has permanent solutions to these key issues. Karen Matthee is a fighter and is already fighting to fix things that are clearly broken!
One example is when she invited Dr. Stacey Good, chief medical officer for Bonner General Hospital, to talk to the public about the future of labor/delivery at the hospital, and the challenges faced by Idaho’s doctors and rural hospitals.
In contrast, her opponent voted for three new laws that criminalize doctors for practicing best standard of care. This is no way to bring back our doctors.
If you want a fighter in your corner who is committed to finding permanent solutions, join me in voting for Karen Matthee on November 5.
