Dixon is the very definition of a statesman

| April 30, 2020 1:00 AM

I have known Sage Dixon since I worked on his first campaign for District 1 state representative. Even though I had to move, I still work with him. He is a thoughtful, godly man of integrity who cares about his community and did so long before he ran for office.

My son was privileged to be the first full-term intern for Sage and counts Sage as a good friend and mentor. Because my son worked with the Legislature, I became familiar with the goings-on in Boise. I have learned a lot about what it takes to be a state representative and appreciate the discipline needed to do the job well. I have seen Sage take the time necessary to learn procedures, get to know his colleagues and the personnel legislators must work with to get things done. He has matured as a legislator while holding fast to his principles. He is not afraid to take a stand for something he believes in, he just does it quietly. He does not need or seek out the limelight. I have seen him take responsibility for his mistakes, handle a room full of critics with grace and civility, and let others take credit for his hard work. He has attended every town hall scheduled since they began in 2015. He loves one-on-one contact with his constituents. He will treat you with respect regardless of political affiliation. All he asks is you do the same for him.

Sage is the very definition of his motto: A statesman, not a politician. Please re-elect Sage Dixon to House District 1, Seat B. It is the wise thing to do.
