Dave Raglin Priorities

Housing

We need a comprehensive strategy where community and government leaders can work together to make significant progress in addressing the housing issue.  Local builders working with non-profit agencies like pahaid.org and proposed legislation for getting state tax incentives to build below-market homes are in the works right now.  Strategic partnerships can help with lower price points for cost effective housing for working class families.    

Education

Our state education system needs compromise and teamwork to achieve a common goal of addressing the educational inequities and shortcomings that we are facing.  As a community, we need to find solutions to addressing our education together and work with the legislature and the governor's office to get permanent funding in place. 

Community

We need to have collective action and shared purpose with this community of ours.  I hear the same message from so many in the community of coming together, and not becoming like the national political scene where we keep dividing each other.   We need to find common ground in our community with one another and foster the history and greatness that makes all of Idaho the self-reliant and persevering state that it is.

I need your support to get this done. As one of the few contested races for State Legislature across Idaho, reaching every voter will be more important than ever. Please make a financial contribution to help me carry that message of change for this Primary on May 21, 2024.

LET’S STAND TOGETHER

Together We can Make Something Great!

When I am with my wife and her family, who have lived here all their lives, I hear stories about how it used to be or things they missed. Growth and population are part of the evolution of our human society, we cannot escape that, we need to monitor it, and understand it.   But the culture and foundational roots of Coeur d’ Alene and North Idaho, is why we are all here and it is our identity.  I want to keep it a place that values families, neighbors, and kindness to one another above personal agendas. I want to do my part to be a voice for North Idaho and represent everyone!
