Johnson will support our students, public education

We have known Steve Johnson for 35 years as an educator in Bonner County. We have known him to be a trustworthy person. Steve represents the urban and rural character of Bonner and Boundary Counties. He has contributed much to the county as a citizen and farmer as well as a teacher and principal. We feel he would represent the average citizen in district 1 and not just a special interest group.

As a second-generation Idahoan family, public lands are important to us. Hiking, camping, hunting and huckleberry picking are activities we enjoy. It would be a shame if those lands became private and not accessible.

Of course public education is important to us. Since we were long time teachers at Sandpoint High, we have seen the impact of the public school system on the children in our area. Many students come from homes that depend on the school to help their children become productive adults. It is very gratifying to see our past students be successful in life. Public education needs the support of the legislature to continue. Steve Johnson is the person who will give that support. Please write in Steve Johnson for District 1 Senator and color in the bubble.
