I am honored to have Senator Werk’s endorsement, and was pleased to have the opportunity to work with him in the Legislature this year. I admire how hard he has worked to defeat the Luna laws and I am looking forward to collaborating with him in the future.

Senator Werk’s Endorsement

“I am proud to endorse Mat Erpelding for House Seat A in District 19. He will make a fine legislator and represent the people of District 19 with energy and commitment.

Mat is an educator, small-business owner, strong conservationist, and a committed Democrat. I was impressed by his enthusiasm, intelligence, and political skill when we worked together this year on the Idaho Democrats IJOBs job creation package. His ideas and talent resulted in an extraordinary package of bills.

As an educator, Mat understands the critical education issues that we face, will oppose the Luna laws, and fight for school reform that values learning. His environmental background will make him an asset as we fight for environmental protection in Idaho. And his legislative experience will allow him to hit the ground running.

I am looking forward to working with Mat Erpelding and I know that he will be a valuable addition to the legislature as a representative of District 19 and the great state of Idaho.”
