Carl Bjerke
Senate 5
Hometown: Coeur d’Alene
Occupation: Retired firefighter
Statement: “My experiences in seeing politics from an intimate outside view, through my long career in public safety, has given me a unique perspective. Being there for people on their worst day has given me the ability to keep looking at the problem, instead of shying away from what might be difficult to see. My motivation comes from God, who has led me in this direction as well my strong desire to fight for the citizens of Idaho, and ultimately, this country.”
