Idaho needs new leaders across the board


    We Idahoans have the opportunity Nov. 4 to climb out of the bottom in state rankings where career politicians have put us. A.J. Balukoff cares about our children, our economics and so much more, while our present governor favors the wealthy, mostly from out of state. His actions and cronies make us bottom-feeders in the national fish bowl.
    Nels Mitchell’s fresh energy, expertise and integrity will make a difference in the U.S. Senate. Jim Risch’s performance: “F” as a senator. Let’s surprise ourselves and vote in someone who wants to work for us. Shirley Ringo would restore true leadership to the House of Representatives, minus egotistical politicking. Holli Woodings has the background and integrity to be secretary of state. Could anything be more ludicrous than electing the subversive Lawrence Denney to that office when his own party rejected him as a leader? We need a morale boost from Rep. Stallings, who already has the reputation of a respected, qualified legislator. Jana Jones, eminently qualified to be superintendent of schools, will give us the leadership so badly needed for eight years. In November, vote for strong, dedicated leaders who will make us proud and give our state back the respect it deserves.
