Charlie Specht Precinct Committee Officer

Biography

Hello, my name is Charlie Specht and I am the Republican Precinct Committeeman for District 321 for the Kootenai County Republican Central Committee.  I voted for Donald Trump in 2016 and 2020, and 2024.  I fully support the 2nd Amendment as I own many guns and believe that it is a right we all should have.  I also think that Dalton Gardens should be kept rural since that is the reason that we all live here.  That must be protected at all costs.
