"In the time I have known Bruce Mattare, he has demonstrated a keen intellect and an even demeanor, always searching for solutions to complex problems. As a North Idaho native, I believe Bruce would be a valuable asset as a Kootenai County Commissioner, with the ability to find unique ways of addressing the challenges faced by Kootenai County, both now and in the future."

"I moved to North Idaho in 2018 where I had the pleasure to meet Bruce Mattare, both professionally and personally.  He is a fellow neighbor in our beautiful Cougar Gulch community.

 

I moved to Kootenai County because its values and quality of life mirrors exactly what I treasure most. The easy-going rural lifestyle with lots of outdoor places to explore, plenty of unspoiled lakes and rivers to play in, along with a community who sincerely appreciates our military and our local law enforcement officers.

 

In just the first few minutes of talking to and getting acquainted with Bruce, I found that his personal beliefs and core values are exactly as mine, especially when it came to the topic of limited government and controlling outrageous government overreach. I also liked the fact that he is NOT a career politician.

 

He is a local business owner who has a vested interest in protecting the quality and beauty of this special place.  He is entrenched deeply into the Coeur d' Alene community with his wife and children and he fully supports law enforcement, as clearly evident in his successful management of getting Bob Norris elected as our Sheriff for Kootenai County.

 

Another very important personal issue to me is knowing that Bruce is 100% supportive of protecting our Second Amendment rights here in Idaho. I am an active trap, pistol and rifle shooter and we are at risk of losing some of our local gun ranges and I know that Bruce will be supportive of keeping our shooting areas and gun ranges, open and available for all of us to use.  I am very proud of his intentions to run for County Commissioner for District 2 and fully endorse him. If elected, I have full confidence that Bruce Mattare will fight hard to protect the Idaho I know and love."

"As a longtime Kootenai County employee, I wholeheartedly endorse Bruce Mattare for county commissioner.

I retired in 2017 after 35 plus years in Law Enforcement with my last 28years with the Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office.  As a Major Crimes Detective Sergeant for 20 of those years, I’ve known both the good and the bad that has come with growth here in Kootenai County.

What is needed now in our commissioner’s office is someone with strong management and leadership skills.  Bruce’s background and experience as a successful businessman is just one example of his proven ability.

I’ve come to know Bruce well and find him remarkably intelligent, a solid and logical thinker, as well as being very competent and capable. I believe Bruce will fairly examine any challenges that come before the commission and make a well thought out, and fiscally responsible decision. 

A vote for Bruce Mattare is a vote towards making Kootenai County a better place to live. I stand solidly behind Bruce Mattare and support him strongly in his Campaign to become a Kootenai County Commissioner."

Major Crimes Sergeant
