Today we celebrate our Son John’s (JD’s) graduation from BSU. He served his country right out of High School for 5 1/2 years, including 15 months of duty as a Forward Observer during the surge in Iraq. He came home focused on attaining his degree in business economics and achieved just that, without any debt. He has invested his time and money well and is now very prepared for success in the private or public sector. He continues to serve our nation in the Navy reserves, I can’t wait to watch what he will achieve next. I’m a very proud Dad today because my Son has worked for and already achieved great successes in his life… Congrats JD, you’ve made us all very proud.

I’ve met some of the nicest folks in walking the new District 14. Yesterday, I spent with some of our seniors playing bingo and Ms Emma (legally blind, 84 years young) has more energy than the energizer bunny! I am enjoying getting to know so many new friends in Eagle, Star and Meridian… thanks to all for your words of encouragement and support… One more lit drop today, meet at our home at noon!

A nice endorsement by the Senate Caucus Chairman, thanks Sen. Fulcher!

I support Marv Hagedorn in his bid for the Idaho State Senate in legislative district 14.
Marv understands the importance of the free market and the real factors that drive economic growth. During his years in the House of Representatives, Marv has been a relentless defender for Idaho’s taxpayers. He has also provided thoughtful, innovative leadership on a wide variety of policy issues.
Marv has credibility with colleagues and constituents alike. In challenging times like we face today, we need Marv’s skills, experience and leadership in the Idaho Senate. Please join me and support Marv Hagedorn for Idaho Senate with your vote on May 15
Sincerely,
Russ Fulcher
Majority Caucus Chairman – Idaho State Senate

Idaho State revenue numbers for April are in, we are about $500k over $400m projection! Pretty good considering April brings in ~23% of our year’s revenue. As it stands in April, we will put ~$60M in our Rainy Day Funds but, if we remain on our current revenue glide path, we could see as much as $100M put away by the end of June. These funds kept us whole through our economic downturn, I’m glad we are able to restore those savings once more while balancing our budget AND reducing taxes!

Looking forward to seeing all of you at Mayor Tammy’s Meet & Greet tonight at 6 pm! www.marvhagedorn.com/Meet-and-Greets.php

Walked LOTS of Eagle neighborhoods today and ended with a wonderful meet & greet at Bob and Gloria Bruce’s home. Good to meet so many folks!

Big thanks go out to the Meridian Chamber and the Prof. Fire Fighters of Idaho for endorsing my campaign for Senate!

Thanks to Bob Hoover, President and CEO of the Idaho Community Foundation for being our guest speaker tonight in our Wyakin Warrior Professional Development lecture series. Bob gave some great insights to giving back to your community, how to start and accomplish a service project. Each of our Warriors need to plan, achieve board approval and successfully execute a community service project in order to complete their WyWF education program.

I’ve been contacted by a great Idaho company that wants to hire 4 energetic vets here in the Treasure Valley to put on events for them around the state. $12 -$14/hr. Email me at marvhagedorn@q.com for the info!

Spent the day walking & talking to Dist. 14 folks, all very receptive to my campaign for Senate. Let’s all ensure we mark May 15th to vote!
