I am not a person who touts their achievements or accomplishments because I just see a need and find a solution.  I am proud of what I have done for our community through blood, sweat, and tears.  Now is the time that I am able to take what I’ve learned and apply it to another level of involvement to guide how our city grows.

 

The Idaho I was exposed to was fundamental; a person’s word was their bond.  Therefore, I am open to meet face-to-face with anyone to share my perspectives and how I would handle the challenging issues potentially facing our city. I look forward to hearing from you. 

 

Respectfully,

Stephen Bonnar
