Karen Matthee cares about the community
I wonder how many of us feel truly heard by our locally elected officials? Karen Matthee, candidate for Idaho Legislature, has made it her mission to hear us. ALL of us. For months, she's been door-knocking with fervor and attending countless events to meet voters. Every time I see her, I ask, "How's the campaign going?" Each time, she replies with something like, "I just love talking with people and listening to their concerns. I love hearing what voters have to say." What if all our elected officials felt that way?
