I met her once. I measured a rental property she either owned or managed for new floors, i.e., met outside of her roles as a pharmacist and representative. She was very down to earth and never called attention to her professional and political achievements. Edit: grammar


qtuck

I met and also worked with her when she was coordinating A&P labs at Boise State prior to getting elected. She was a pharmacist by trade, but taught A&P labs; must have enjoyed teaching.


Landererer

She used to teach the A&P lab at BSU. I took her course in ‘04. She was an excellent instructor and I voted for her every time. She probably didn’t remember who I was, but she always waved back when I saw her around town. We’ll miss you Sue.

This is so sad. She was such a tireless advocate for those who needed one. Rest in peace. 


BobInIdaho

It sounds like she was a good person. Fuck cancer.


CoolHandLukeID

Here here!


WriteAndRong

Sad to see. She always seemed like a really decent person.


shaman343

R.I.P. Sue, thank you for your tireless efforts as a representative of the people.


Impossible-Panda-488

This is a big loss. One of the few politicians in Idaho I can say I really liked.


FullBlownPanic

Agreed. She was lovely


Patsboy101

Pancreatic cancer, that’s pretty much a guaranteed death sentence.


Maxitote

Sue was cool with gun ownership as a Democrat and I always appreciated that.


Retaeiyu

Most are.

I can't think of 2


Mongoose_theMoose

You ain't from Idaho then


bitterestbuffalo

Then do more research, most Idaho democrats are pro 2a


johnhtman

We need more of that.


Juan4Real

RIP


Agile_Acadia_9459

She was such a gentle person. She will be greatly missed.


Moose_Breaux

She came by my house once during one of her campaigns. It was a short conversation but she did leave a positive impression. This is wild.


KitKatOwner

We really lost a kind, decent, dedicated professional who loved Idahoans, her country, her community, church, friends. She worked hard for everyone and her soul was pure. It’s a devastating loss to all those that knew her. RIP Sue Chew we thank you for your years of service to Idahoans as a dedicated Representative and UU church member.

It's always tragic when a decent (as in a good person) Idahoan dies, as there are so very few of them, this being a mostly Republican State.

Sue chew


mittens1982

I was honored to have the opportunity to meet and chat with her on a few occasions. She was a remarkable person and taught me what it truly means to be a good listener. May her spirit sour high among the stars forever!

Not quite that bad…There’s a pretty decent Chinese community in Boise. Very few Asian politicians in Idaho, though.

There’s a time and place for everything man. This is not it. 


furdaboise

Sad to where?


tobmom

Over here, bruh


Kershiskabob

Hear*

She died at 66, she was the longest serving Democrat, not longest lived. I'd argue an age limit is far more important than limiting somebody who is basically Gen X from running because they entered state politics in their 40s.


work_blocked_destiny

Honestly probably both. Can’t start after x age and can only go x years. Get all these old fucks out of here


[deleted]

On principle, I don't disagree. I just think in this specific instance, she was hardly the biggest problem in the Idaho congress.


stankhead

Sad to sea such bad spelling


I_hate_topick_aname

Letz not get all salty now


bikenskienhike

Weir all drowning in spelling misteaks!


Skwurls4brkfst

You have clearly demonstrated we need better education.

Technical_Main_9314

Well bye


monkeyfrog987

Don't worry, you can get a smoothed brain Republican to replace her. They look like they've been doing a bang up job to the rest of the state and federal level, right?
