Ahrens announces run for Idaho Senate |
|
July 22, 2017 |
Danielle Ahrens, a 58 year old mother and
grandmother who lives on a ranch north of
Sandpoint, recently announced her candidacy for
the Idaho Senate in District One in an article
in Redoubt
News, reprinted here with permission.
Danielle is very active in representing her
constituents in District One as the Legislative
District One Republican Chairman. She is also on
the Board of Directors for Bonner County Farm
Bureau, serving as their government affairs
chairman and the Board of Directors for Life
Choices Pregnancy Center in Sandpoint.
She believes in the American dream of hard work,
God, Family and Country. Service above self was
her family’s motto and all five of her brothers
and sisters followed this in their careers.
Danielle’s dad served in the U.S. public health
service as a doctor with the Army for many
years.
Danielle has earned an A.A degree in Business,
B.A. in Psychology and post graduate
certificates in Criminal justice and a P.O.S.T.
degree. She is retired from a career in
corrections.
She is running to ensure that North Idaho is
well represented in Boise and that the concerns
of her fellow North Idahoans are heard from the
Governor's office to our Congressional
delegation and all offices in between. She has
worked very hard at making sure that these
points are accessible.
Danielle was elected as a Colburn Precinct
Committeeman and Bonner County Republican
Central committee Chairman in 2014. In 2016 she
was elected Colburn Precinct Committeeman and
Legislative District One Republican Chairman.
Her areas of concern are:
Business: Reducing the regulations and taxes on new and
small businesses is important because this is
the economic engine that drives our economy and
can provide living wage jobs for our citizens.
Education: Needs to be properly funded by the state per our
constitution there by reducing the levy amounts
on the local taxpayers. Parents should have
school choice to do what is best for their
children.
Natural resources: Our area needs to be locally and state managed
instead of the continuous Federal over reach
into our lands. We have rich timber and mining
resources which if properly managed provide good
living wage jobs for our citizens and keeps our
economy strong.
“It’s very important to me that North Idaho is
consistently represented well and our concerns
are well heard throughout every political body
and office throughout the state," she said. "I
have worked hard and will continue to represent
and address constituents concerns in our
District One of Boundary and Bonner Counties.”
The Idaho primary will be held May 8, 2018. |
