Where I stand
Taxes
I will work toward lowering the tax burden for all Idahoans. This problem overwhelmingly affects the elderly. We cannot allow our neighbors to be taxed out of their homes. We must provide relief for those who have paved the way. All Idahoans should have relief from the despicable grocery tax. Our Legislature has promised grocery tax repeal over and over again, only to turn around and refuse to deliver on their word. Being fiscally responsible, for me, goes hand-in-hand with being a Republican. I will never vote to raise taxes or fees and I will not support legislation that raises spending. I will provide the leadership needed to bridge the gap for the citizens of our district and the people of Idaho.
Land and Water Rights
I was raised in the traditions of the agricultural industry. I will work to preserve the way of life farmers and ranchers rely on. We must hold dear the land and water that provides for so much of our economy and relieve the regulatory burdens on the businesses that feed and clothe Idaho, the United States and the world. I will work toward preserving access to our public lands and making sure Idaho’s resources benefit Idahoans first. Maintaining access to Idaho’s lands for the beneficial use of all Idahoans should be a priority for Idaho’s legislature.
Education
Parents are the primary stakeholders in a child’s education. We cannot allow parents to be intimidated and bullied out of their child’s school. It is imperative that we do not allow our children to be taught racist and demeaning curriculum. We must also hold dear a parent’s right to make all medical choices for their children. Protecting parental rights and school choice will be my top priorities if you choose to elect me as your Senator.
Second Amendment
“The right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.” My ties to this quote run deep. I will protect your right to own firearms. I will protect your right to defend yourself and your family.
Growth
Idaho is growing rapidly. It is necessary that we adapt to this growth without losing the wonderful things that make Idaho the place that so many choose as their home. The Idaho way of life is precious and deserves to be preserved. We must allow our communities to grow without outgrowing infrastructure all the while maintaining an environment that provides a landing spot for our next generation. Allowing businesses a place to flourish will allow our wages to grow with demand. Responsibly growing the housing market will allow for affordability while not losing our precious fertile lands.
Our senate has proven, time and time again, that the needs of Idahoans do not matter to them if they contradict the goals of special interest groups. I have a proven track record of defending the rights of all Idahoans. I will not be swayed when it comes to protecting Idahoans and their constitutional, god-given liberties. Elect me and I will be your champion in the Idaho Senate. Let's put citizens above special interest and work together to keep Idaho great.
