Larry Young - Teton County Idaho Commissioner
County governance has become much more complex in recent years due to decades of rapid growth. The Board of County Commissioners has begun to respond to this change with a number of initiatives and reforms, but most of these programs are still in their infancy and will continue to require nurturing and wise management before the benefits can be realized. We all want to be proud of the place we call home and this is the goal County government is working towards by creating better plans for dealing with our growth. Better growth management will not only make us proud, it will also fortify our economy, resulting in more opportunity for everyone. Kathy Rinaldi is uniquely qualified to provide the leadership we need to keep us moving forward. A vote for her is a vote for a stronger and better community.
Alice Stevenson - former Teton County Idaho Commissioner
I wholeheartedly support Kathy Rinaldi for another term as county commissioner. She and the other County Commissioners have been working hard to help our community adapt to the post-boom economy, and she has the experience, intelligence and creativity to continuing leading Teton Valley in a positive direction.
As a wife, mother of two young children and owner of two small businesses she certainly knows how to multi-task and she also understands the challenges facing families, employers and employees. Despite her busy life, she is also a great friend to others. Kathy is a caring person of high integrity who will work hard for the benefit of the entire community. I urge you to support Kathy in every way you can. Voting for Kathy will be a vote to continue moving the county forward.
Geordie Gillett, owner Grand Targhee Resort
As a business owner, investor and resident of Teton VAlley I know the value of responsible leadership in building a strong community. I have worked with Kathy on a number of levels - as a community organizer with the Teton Valley Foundation, a planning advocate for responsible development and as a decision maker on the Driggs Planning and Zoning. In all of these roles she has proven to be a person of integrity, strong leadership and has shown a deep commitment to our community. It's with pleasure that I endorse Kathy as Teton County Commissioner.
Scott Fitzgerald - Mayor of Victor
Kathy Rinaldi has been a great partner at the County level and I look forward to working with her on creating a truly sustainable Teton Valley. She knows that Cities and Counties need to work together for the benefit of us all.
Kathy [also] knows what it takes to raise a family in Teton County and has been working hard to provide the sustainable economy we all need to raise our families here.
Dan Powers - Mayor of Driggs
Kathy Rinaldi took office two years ago with a County budget deep in the red and a local economy about to drop into a tailspin after years of uncontrolled, unsustainable development. With her leadership, they've been able to address many of their budget woes. In addition, she's worked tirelessly to develop an economy that can create good jobs. We'll be seeing the results of these efforts in the near future. She has my full support in the coming primary and general elections.
Johnny Ziem, Victor City Councilor
I endorse Kathy Rinaldi for county commissioner. Kathy is a visionary leader and a hard-working politician. She understands the need for open mindedness, good communication and stewardship. As we move forward as a county, I ask all to support Kathy and all she does for this community. Remember, a leader is one who knows the way, goes the way and shows the way.
