Watchmen Ministry North Idaho was created in November of 2019 by Elsa and Daniel Owsley. We have been residents of Kootenai County since 2014. A bit about us: Daniel has worked in the technology field since graduating from college, for almost 30 years. Elsa has been a full-time Realtor for the past 23 years. We have three children and four grandchildren, and they are the biggest motivators for everything we do. We are solid Christian Conservatives who put God first, family second and love of country- in that order.
We have been producing Voter Guides since May of 2020 and have covered eleven election cycles thus far. This ministry started as our way of giving back to the community that we love. We do not take donations, and we are not funded by any special interest groups. This has been our policy from the very beginning. This is what makes our Voter Guides unique and completely fair for everyone. We put our own time and treasure into creating these Voter Guides. Voter Guides that do not tell anyone who they should vote for. We believe firmly that the voters are best suited to decide on who their leaders should be, not a small group of individuals who decide for them.
We are not affiliated with any local, state, national PAC nor political party.
We invite all candidates in contested races from Kootenai County, Bonner County, Boundary County, and Shoshone County to participate in our Voter Guides. We do not edit their responses. This means that what you read in our Voter Guides are the exact responses from the candidates.
As a Ministry that follows 501(c)(3) guidelines, Watchmen Ministry North Idaho does not endorse or oppose any candidate for public office. Candidates’ responses are provided for Voter Educational Purposes. We believe that we have a God given duty to elect those that best represent us and best represent our values. We get to do this once or twice per year. Therefore, we have no excuse to not be informed in which candidates will serve our communities best. Our goal is to help the voters identify those with a servant’s heart and statesman-like character, not a politician.
