Don’t Change Idaho — Let Idaho Change You
I love Coeur d’ Alene and North Idaho, and my connection here runs deep. My wife Heather is a third-generation North Idahoan, and her family stories are woven into this community. I still think about Grandma Burch celebrating her 100th birthday at Hudson’s Hamburgers back in 2005 — a reminder that places like Hudson’s are more than businesses; they’re living pieces of Kootenai County history.
North Idaho is our small piece of paradise. Our values — neighborliness, hard work, and respect for this land — are stitched into our daily lives. Through our business, we employ people who live and raise their families right here in Coeur d’Alene. We have a stake in this place that predates many newcomers, and we care deeply about keeping it a community we’re proud of.
This election season has brought a lot of noise and back-and-forth. That kind of “he said / she said” atmosphere doesn’t serve our neighborhoods. What would serve us better is calm, honest conversation — neighbors listening to each other, learning the facts, and engaging respectfully.
If you care about where you live, I encourage you to do your own research: read candidate statements, attend local forums, speak with people who represent different viewpoints, and consider how proposed changes would affect our schools, roads, property, small businesses, first responders, and quality of life. Above all, let’s remember what community means: supporting one another and protecting the values that make Coeur d’ Alene and North Idaho home.
Take a moment to reflect on why you chose to live here and what you want our future to look like. Let the spirit of Idaho — the openness, the connection to the land, and the pride in our community — shape how you choose to engage.
— A neighbor who cares
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.
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.
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.
