Support Idaho Democrats by Janet Callen Published in Spokesman Review Oct 6, 2006 A couple of great political events took place in Idaho recently. On Sept. 15, Larry Grant, an Idaho native and candidate for Congress, debated Bill Sali at NIC. Judging by the applause at the end, Grant clearly won. He is intelligent, articulate, understands business and economics and has taken the time to know his neighbors. Idaho could be proud to have him as our representative. Sali has been financed by an extremist right-wing group based in Washington, D.C. Sali is against government intrusion into our lives, but not if one is female, Hispanic or an elderly Japanese. Republicans in the Idaho Legislature have described him as belligerent and incompetent. On Sept. 16, an inspiring fund-raiser was held for Jerry Brady, candidate for governor. Brady has traveled this state extensively, meeting people and listening to their concerns. He has strong family values and is a businessman who knows and loves his state. He'd be a governor for the people. In the debate Sali said that competition is a good thing because it sharpens the players. Our government will be sharper, less arrogant and less corrupt with Jerry Brady in the governor's office, Larry Grant in Congress and more Democrats in Boise and Washington.
