Boise County educator takes on Nielsen

Rosemary P. Ardinger, Boise County Planning and Zoning Commissioner and former Department of Education administrator is challenging Mountain Home Republican Milton Peter “Pete” Nielsen in November. Ardinger, a Democrat who lives off of Highway 21, worked for three state supers, wants to bring education knowledge to Legislature. Ardinger: “We’ve seen too many bad examples in other states where sprawl has overrun infrastructure. I’ll be a diligent voice for responsible growth, quality education, quality of life, and the economic benefits growth can bring.” Nielsen is a farmer and insurance agent from Mountain Home who wears awesomely polyester suits.
