Unaffordable #housing was the #1 issue at the door today - an issue the #idleg did nothing to help fix this session. In fact, the House passed a bill to protect predatory landlords by banning city ordinances that wld curtail rental application fee abuse. 3/3 https://t.co/j6IexBLDrX
DOOR KNOCK OF THE DAY <U+0001F3E1> "I can't afford to live here anymore." That's what two different women in their 70's, long-time residents living alone on a fixed income in different apartments off of Fairview Avenue told me today. #idpol 1/3
Every week I hear voters of all ages & political stripes tell me they will be leaving Idaho or plan to do so. The reason: unaffordable housing & a growing extremism that makes them feel unwelcomed. <U+0001F447> 2/2 #idpol https://t.co/uoprzMkeJO

DOOR KNOCK OF THE DAY <U+0001F3E0> A woman in tears. She can<U+2019>t afford to stay in her apartment & will be leaving at the end of August. She works & lives in #Boise. She had no idea what she<U+2019>s going to do - possibly move back home w her mother, but she<U+2019>d have to quit a job she loves. 1/2 https://t.co/fqgNh7OU5I
Their rent is being raised through the roof <U+2013> again. I've heard this from many other people desperate to not be forced to live a shelter, in their car or out on the street. 2/3 https://t.co/u4QS0PwRDY
DOOR KNOCK OF THE DAY🏡 This voter asked me why I was knocking on apartment buildings where residency is often transient & the 2022 election is 17 months away. 1/2 My answer was simple: "I knock on doors year-round to stay current w issues & concerns of my constituents." https://t.co/gY3odImkle
