Welcome!

Thank you for visiting my website! Please feel free to come in and learn more about me and what I have been working on for you in the Idaho State Senate.

I am proud to serve the people of Benewah, Bonner, Kootenai and Shoshone Counties. Serving as your state senator is a great honor, privilege and duty I take very seriously.

Inside this website you will read where I stand on the issues and I believe you will come away with a clear impression of who I am. I believe I hold the same bedrock values and beliefs as my neighbors: fighting to lower not raise taxes, removing burdens on businesses that create the jobs we need in northern Idaho and the protection of our children from predators.

I ask you to support me in my bid for re-election. With your support we can keep northern Idaho represented on the important committees I sit on—Health & Welfare, Transportation and, most of all, the powerful Joint Finance Appropriations Committee.

With your much appreciated support, I can continue to work to get the job done.

Thank you.

Joyce

Dear Senator Broadsword,

I understand you are up for re-election. You have my vote! I’ve always admired you and your stance on the core values the people of North Idaho hold so dear. My family is impressed by your record and they too are casting their votes for you! I’ve emailed you a year ago about an issue I read in our local newspaper, and you jumped on it. I’m writing you again, because I see another possible issue.
I’m a sophomore student at the University of Idaho, Moscow. I major in Elementary Education, and proudly want to take my degree back home to Benewah County upon graduation. My home of St. Maries has provided so much support for mine and other educations. Recently, the University announced that staff were being laid off, parking permit fees were increasing, and a 12% tuition increase was proposed to the Idaho Board of Education. I understand the University is a land grant institution, and they have limits to what they can increase our tuition to, but I’m scared it will get higher! I don’t think the University is doing enough to cut corners, and they’re making too much of a hasty decision that affects the students. My dad is a logger, my mom works in a grocery store, and they’re doing all they can to put myself and my older sister through college. I love my school, the reputation, the atmosphere, and the education I’m receiving. I don’t want to transfer to another smaller school or drop out because I can’t afford to go. Senator Broadsword, as you have done before, is there any way you can influence a more responsible way of the University of Idaho meeting their budget without raising tuition?

Thank you for your service and hard work!

Sincerely,

Jackie Sherwood
St. Maries, ID
