“The most direct contact many people have with government is the school system both as a student and later as a parent. Education is personal. That is why I support local school board decision making, based upon educator, parent and public involvement. Local government is a place where parents, school personnel and taxpayers have a direct and personal impact on important decisions.”
(Ballotpedia campaign themes) “Jury pay at $10 a day is insulting. After several tries, I was able to write a bill where the state pays $50 to jurors in lengthy trials. Now the counties need to step up and raise the pay to $50/day for all days of service.”
(John Gannon campaign website) “I was raised in a group where adults do not use modern medicine to treat their children. I almost died of whooping cough once. My legislator John Gannon stands up for people like me. I want him to continue so I registered to vote for the first time ever.” - Willie Hughes, Boise.”
