Messages From Our Candidates
RON TAYLOR FOR IDAHO STATE SENATE
This week, Ron was busy knocking doors, delivering signs, attending the Community Library presentation on Proposition 1, and attending the 100 Men Who Care meeting on lack of affordable housing in Blaine county. It was super informative!
I will be door knocking almost everyday until election day. Call me to join my team! 208-831-1726! It's a great way to hear from locals and what they care about. I've had some great conversations and I look forward to taking all this input back to Boise to represent ALL my constituents!
CHRIS HANSEN FOR LEGISLATIVE DISTRICT 26 LEGISLATOR
Team Chris has been joyfully collecting individual endorsements and continuing to distribute yard signs throughout the district. Our canvassing operation has been pleased to continue our partnership with Ron Taylor, showing voters the powerful combination of two public servants. We are happy to offer a Tab for Teachers tonight at La Cabinita - first drink is on Chris and Ron after parent teacher conferences! Same with Friday morning at Coffee Corner in Bellevue, Black Owl in Hailey, and Maude’s in Ketchum. Thank you for your continued support and the good vibes! We are continuing to Find a Way Forward!
