<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Got my vote! We need commisioners from all parties
who really listen to the constiuents, rather than using their "religiosity" or
"old Fart" sensibilities to run the county! Some of these folks seem to have
forgotten they are elected to "represent the people of Latah County" and
continually represent their own tired and dated
ideas... Huzzah!</FONT></DIV>

released the following news via a press release.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I will be engaging in a

<BR></SPAN>PRESS RELEASE<BR></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; TEXT-INDENT: 0.5in">Rep. Tom
Trail announces run for Latah County Commissioner.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Rep. Trail announced today that he
will be seeking the Republican nomination for the District 1 Latah County
Commissioner seat.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Trail
said, “I am grateful to the voters of District 6 allowing me to represent them
in the Idaho House of Representatives.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>I’ve enjoyed my work in the House, but I have decided it is time for me
to focus my efforts on supporting my Latah County constituents.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This decision was reached after
talking to my family and Latah County citizens.”<BR></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; TEXT-INDENT: 0.5in">Further,
Trail indicated, “I’m running for County Commissioner because I feel the
experience and knowledge I have gained as state representative will directly
benefit Latah County.”<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Trail’s
priorities include economic development, supporting local input in decisions
made in Boise, providing common sense values to local issues, and assuring our
county lives within its means while addressing important county government
functions necessary to the quality of life we have all come to
desire.<BR></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; TEXT-INDENT: 0.5in">As a state
representative, Trail has served for the past 16 years on the Education,
Agricultural Affairs, and the Commerce and Human Resources Committees.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Trail prides himself in serving
constituents needs and his motto is “Constituents First.”<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Trail is a lifelong resident of Latah
County and lives on the family farm east of Moscow.<BR></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; TEXT-INDENT: 0.5in">Trail wants
to thank his constituents for their support in returning him to the House of
Representatives for eight terms.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>“The tremendous amount of local support has made being your
representative a highlight of my years of public service.”<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Trail indicates that 16 years at the
state level is enough.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>He notes
that the tone of state politics has changed during his time in the House.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>“Under former House Speaker Bruce
Newcomb, it was congenial,”<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Trail
said.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>“Everyone could voice their
differences.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We had a good
dialogue, a diversity of opinions, and you were respected for it.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I was spoiled under that type of
democratic environment.”<BR></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; TEXT-INDENT: 0.5in">In 2011 Trail
broke party lines on several votes, including education reform, closing the
Republican primaries, and the tobacco tax.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>At the end of the 2011 session, House
Speaker, Lawerence Denney stripped Trail of his agricultural committee
chairmanship, though Trail indicated that move didn’t factor into his decision
to seek re-election to the house.</DIV></SPAN>
