The citizens of Mountain Home have the privilege of voting for Idaho’s District 22 Legislative Branch Senator and Congressmen on November 2, 2010. These candidates have taken on a very important responsibility if they get (re)elected. Unfortunately the two District 22 Congressmen are running unopposed this year. Maybe someone with throw their hat in the ring as a “write in candidate”? I very rarely vote for an “unopposed” candidate so if you are considering a write candidacy make sure you let us know. You’ll likely get my vote if you come to Mountain Home for a meet and greet and have some good ideas.
5 Questions the Candidates Need to Answer Before Getting My Vote
1. How will you best represent my needs and the needs of Idaho?
2. Do you care enough to visit Mountain Home to personally introduce yourself to our citizens?
3. How do you stand on the issues?
4. Why do you think you are qualified to to help run the State of Idaho?
5. If you are running unopposed in this election, why do you think no one is running against you?
