Aragon letter: Ballot write-in

The Idaho Statesman published a story on May 1 by Bill Dentzer referencing voter choices on the May 17 primary election ballot (”Hey Idaho Voter! Gonna Sit This One Out?”). In the piece, Mr. Dentzer quoted Idaho Sen. Chuck Winder, R- Boise, and mentioned a Democratic opponent for the Senate seat in Legislative District 20. Unfortunately, the story failed to provide your readers with the write-in candidate’s name: Bill Rutherford.

Rutherford is a retired civil engineer running as a Democrat. He is intelligent; he cares and he will serve voters well. Please consider writing in Bill Rutherford for state senator District 20. Visit Bill’s website or the Statesman’s Voter Guide for details and contact information: http://bill-rutherford.ruck.us.
