I support Donna Pence's re-election as District 25 state representative.
Donna will fight to make sure Idaho's children get the quality education they deserve. As a retired teacher with a master's degree in education, Donna believes the budget cuts to education have been too severe. Donna Pence also will work hard to bring more technical education into high schools, including linking classrooms with local community colleges and ensuring a workforce to support technology-driven businesses.
Donna with her husband, Lew, has had the opportunity to live and teach in many southern Idaho communities, including Gooding where they have lived since 1972. For years, the Pences have run a tree-farming business where Donna has gained an appreciation for the marketing, financing and labor challenges facing small businesses. This experience and Donna's six years in the Legislature form the basis for her support of fair and equitable tax policies and against special deals for a few.
Donna understands the communities of this district and has the experience to be an effective promoter for our kids and our future. Please join me in voting for Donna Pence, our state representative.
