Jeff Connolly is the right pick for commissioner

The county commissioner’s job is one of great importance to all county residents and taxpayers. Although the election is a political process, the implementation of the job quickly goes far beyond politics and enters the real lives of innumerable people of Bonner County. Jeff Connolly is a man I worked with for more than four years and I observed the thought he put into the decisions he had to make. I was impressed by his diligent effort to put personalities aside and make prudent, reasonable decisions for the best interests of Bonner County’s future, residents and taxpayers.

Our county has been engulfed in the tumultuous angst of an unprecedented influx of people, creating innumerable opportunities for people to profit on the division and sale of properties. The almost unfathomable byproduct of a pandemic has been the onslaught upon our local way of life and the overwhelming demands placed upon the fundamental services Bonner County provides to maintain our way of life.

Jeff Connolly has many years of local community and government involvement. That coupled with the decades he worked in forest management, makes him imminently qualified to provide leadership from the commissioner’s office.

I strongly encourage the voters of Bonner County to re-elect Jeff Connolly.
