Matthee puts in the effort

I have been excited to vote for Karen Matthee for House Seat 1A since I heard her effective responses at the candidates forum. Karen says she supports Proposition 1 (The Open Primaries Initiative) because she believes it requires candidates to be accountable to a broad spectrum of voters.  It will make her a more responsive legislator. That is a big reason I am voting for Karen Matthee for House Seat 1A.

We need candidates who support free and fair elections, who want to give everyone a voice. The Open Primary would give a voice to thousands of Independent voters here in Idaho, many of whom are veterans and active duty service men and women.

Karen has knocked on the doors of almost 1500 unaffiliated and Republican voters. She has found common ground with most of them. She’s doing the hard work to really understand the concerns of a broad range of folks here in our district. I have no doubt that she will put that knowledge into action to benefit us all when she goes to Boise.
