James Piotrowski (D), 49 Candidate for First District Representative to Congress Constitutional lawyer

1. This year I was inspired to run for office by Congressman Labrador’s crusade to transfer large swaths of public lands here in Idaho. Those public lands are a crucial part of what makes Idaho, Idaho. From hunting, fishing, and hiking, to logging, mining, and grazing, Idaho’s approach to multiple use, and public access, has shaped our way of life. As a passionate fly fisherman and hunter, I believe that Idaho deserves leadership that understands the value of our lands, and will fight to protect our heritage. While public lands initially got me into this race, I believe that this fight highlights a broader problem with our current representation. Congressman Labrador has continually gone to Washington, D.C. to serve his own political career and to chase an extreme ideology, at the expense of Idahoans. We deserve leadership that will put people above politics, and I hope to bring that to the 1st District of Idaho.

Last week I was on a photo trip journeying via country road 2509 to Spruce Lake when I came onto a fairly common site for late summer. It was a mother spruce grouse and three of her chicks who were almost fully grown.

Appreciate vet's office

On Sunday evening, March 30, my wife and I were faced with a decision that I would not wish on anyone. Our 14 year old dog, who had been a member of our family since she was seven weeks old was in dire physical distress. Although we knew this day would come it did not make it any easier. We had to make the decision to put her down, as she was suffering greatly.

Important anniversary upon us

As we celebrate the inauguration, human rights, and all of the momentous events gripping our nation this week, it is important to note that an important anniversary is also upon us and we cannot afford to allow it to go unnoticed. I am speaking of the anniversary of the Rowe vs. Wade decision legalizing abortion on January 22.

Every day should be Voter Registration Day

In my opinion, because one in four American citizens is not registered to vote, every day should be Voter Registration Day. I learned about this firsthand, leading the Boundary County team of volunteers in getting signatures to qualify the Open Primaries Initiative for the ballot in November 2024.
