Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

Lela Konecny has lived in the West her whole life. She grew up in northern Idaho, and it's there that she began her career in the timber industry. Lela still works in the industry at Saratoga Forest Management in Carbon County as a quality control manager. The life lessons the timber industry has taught her over the years has given her a unique perspective on the issues our district faces, such as land management and burdensome government regulation. In her life, she has seen too many people be elected into public office and, once elected, simply stop working for the public. Becoming frustrated with putting her trust in people with her vote and seeing no results, she decided it was time to do something herself. Lela will be an active representative that will bring visible change to the district, and wants to be an example to everyone around her of what true leaders should be.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?
