Little for a proud Idaho
The Brad Little running for governor of Idaho that I see described in opponent’s ads bears no resemblance to the Brad Little I’ve come to know.
I first “met” Brad through his sons, who were attending the University of Idaho. Both solid, level-headed young men, and I told my wife then that those boys have been raised by good parents. Then, at Moms Weekends at UI, I met their mother. I still had no clue that they were related to the lieutenant governor — it wasn’t mentioned and it was several years later I found out they were related. That’s typical of the family I came to know. They don’t go around like most politicians telling everyone within earshot that they think they’re important. I like that. A lot.
Brad Little is a decent, hard-working third-generation Idahoan who has a high standard of conduct in all his dealings and we know he deserves our votes. We hope you reading this will join us. He’ll keep us proud of Idaho!
