Dale Ewersen, candidate for State Senate, takes buying local to heart, because spending at home enlivens our communities.
Ewersen would carry that philosophy to the Idaho Senate. He’d look for ways to help small businesses succeed and prosper in Idaho because that is a principle that is at the heart of Ewersen’s philosophy of limiting government overreach.
Dale’s not afraid of wandering into the weeds to find solutions. He thinks folks know best how to manage their lives and businesses and he’d like to promote legislation that would foster business growth in our Legislative District 26.
For young people just making their way in the world, those first jobs are key. Employers need the flexibility and time to train new workers for success.
Arbitrarily increasing the minimum wage will mean fewer jobs for first-time workers. Dale thinks that is the wrong direction for the government to take. Most people pay workers more than the minimum wage to attract and keep valuable employees.
Local business does not need more pressure from the government to do the right thing. Let market forces dictate pay. Everyone will benefit.
Sincerely,
Michael H. Leach
