With strong family ties to Owyhee County, I fully understand your concerns about Owyhee County representation in the new district. My wife of 32 years, Jeanne, grew up on the Davis family ranch in Bruneau. Jeanne’s grandparents, Perle and Hilda Davis, homesteaded in the Homedale area (on the Oregon side) and farmed the land for over thirty years. While we all disagree with the geographic boundaries of District 23, for the next ten years this “marriage” will determine our representation in the State Legislature. With the imbalance of nearly three voters in Twin Falls County to every one voter in Owyhee County it would appear that your vote wouldn’t have an effect on the election outcome. Remember Florida in the last election. A strong showing at the primary polls from Owyhee County on May 28th will select your State Senator and send a signal to all future candidates that District 23 is not just Twin Falls County. My education (BS-Accounting, University of Idaho, Masters Degree, Computer Systems Management), 23 years of service as a Navy Officer, community service and 5 plus years serving the City of Buhl combine to give me the leadership qualities and experience to be your next State Senator. Should I be fortunate enough to win in the primary and general elections I can assure you Owyhee County will have representation in the State Senate.
