Park letter: Elect Jerry Sturgill

We write this letter in support of Jerry Sturgill for the U.S. Senate. He has taken principled, thoughtful positions on the issues confronting our state, for example:

▪  He will vote to protect our public lands from sale to private interests.

▪  He will protect women from disgraceful pay disparity.

▪  He will not flinch and cower when threatened by right-wing zealots.

Jerry represents the values that Idahoans have always held close, not the least of which are impeccable honesty and lack of hypocrisy. His opponent should follow Jerry’s example.

Tony Park and Gail Chaloupka, Boise
