We, the heartbroken citizens and parents of the Coeur d’Alene community, are sounding the alarm.

Many of our loved ones are being lost, one by one, to the growing drug trade and the spread of fentanyl and crack cocaine addiction. These deaths are not just statistics. They are our friends, our family members, our neighbors. Every loss tears at the fabric of our community. And yet, drug dealers continue to operate freely in our streets, putting every one of us at risk.

We have reason to believe that Allie Anderton, a Coeur d'Alene School Board Trustee and Kootenai County Republican Central Committee (KCRCC) sweetheart, possesses critical information about at least one individual involved in dealing these deadly substances following her Easter DUI arrest. Allegedly, according to the police report, she told the arresting officer what the burnt tin foil on her person was being used for—to smoke cocaine.

As someone in a position of school leadership and public trust, Ms. Anderton has a responsibility to act. We are calling on her to come forward and help protect this community by turning her drug dealer in and immediately resigning. Our children deserve better role models.

Every piece of information could be the difference between life and death for someone in our community.

Drug overdose deaths, primarily driven by fentanyl and cocaine, are on a terrifying rise across our region and the nation. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 93,000 people died from drug overdoses in the U.S. in 2020 alone, a 31% increase from 2019, and the epidemic continues to escalate. Experts agree: disrupting the supply chain can save lives.

By signing this petition, you are standing with Coeur d’Alene citizens and parents to demand action. You're sending a clear message to Ms. Anderton and the KCRCC who endorsed her: the lives of our community members are not expendable. Taking a stand against the drug dealers who are poisoning our streets is the very least Ms. Anderton can do in this situation.

We also hope Ms. Anderton gets the help that she needs.

Add your name. Add your voice. Tell the KCRCC and Allie Anderton that we want her drug dealer off the streets and her off the school board.

UPDATE: Allie Anderton has resigned as of 4/23/25. Now all that's left for her to do is get her drug dealer off the streets if she has one. She had to get it from somewhere. This petition will remain live until the person who allegedly supplied her cocaine has been charged.
