If I am elected I will work to ensure the freedom of all Idahoans.
I also want to give local communities the tools to deal with the challenges of growth. So I will work to expand transportation and schools to meet our growing needs. I will work in the legislature to support local communities as they innovate to solve the many challenges of growth. This will include funding to decongest roads so we can get where we're going. I also will support efforts to stay out of the way of local governments with innovative ideas to solve their local challenges.
I will work to get the legislature to fully fund schools so that all children can receive a high quality public education.
Recently, I served on the Nampa School Boundary Committee, where along with numerous other neighbors we redrew the boundaries for Nampa Public Schools. In addition I have worked as a substitute teacher. I have worked in a variety of jobs including checking out groceries, setting up plastics machinery, and working in an office. I have also run 2 small businesses. These and other experiences have taught me to work with many different types of people to things done.
I also have a Bachelor's Degree in Accountancy from Boise State University.
The greatest challenges facing the state of Idaho right now are managing growth and improving funding for schools.
As we grow we are faced with difficult choices about land use, transportation, affordable housing, and keeping the Idaho way of life. The State Legislature should be standing with and supporting communities as they find innovative solutions to these tough problems. The State Legislature should be providing support for roads and public transportation, where appropriate.
Currently, our schools are not fully funded by the State of Idaho as required under our state constitution, that is why school districts have to beg voters for levies and bonds. Which we fund with property taxes. I would like to change that.
Abortion is a messy business. I believe that women who have been raped should be able to get an abortion without a police report I also believe that women whose pregnancies are in trouble should be able to get an abortion without them or their healthcare provider going to jail. In order to ensure women in these situations are able to get the healthcare they need, abortion should be legal.
In my life I have struggled. My Mother was a single parent of 6 children. She chose to go to college and create a better life for her family. Through her sacrifice I have learned to stick it out, to work hard, and to scrimp to create a better life. I hope to use those skills to make Idaho, and District 13 a better place to live.
Please Vote for Sarah Butler on November 5th.

As a member of the Idaho Freedom Caucus, I'm steadfast in my battle for Idaho's people. Our state's dependency on federal dollars has made everyday essentials like groceries and housing unaffordable. As inflation continues to devastate our economy, my focus remains on slashing government spending and championing the rights of Idahoans—not bowing to corporations, lobbyists, or bureaucrats.
I'm the current State Senator
Fiscal transparency remains a critical focus. In 2024, we introduced an innovative budgeting process that differentiates between maintenance budgets—those necessary to keep the lights on—and enhancement budgets, which cover additional expenditures. It's crucial to recognize that state spending inflates the debt balloon in Washington D.C., from which Idaho receives roughly 40% of its funding. If that balloon pops, Idaho risks severe financial repercussions. Moving forward, I'm committed to advancing this clear, accountable approach to managing our funds and aggressively reducing spending to mitigate such risks.
If you're bringing up the idea of legalizing abortion on demand, my stance is a firm no.
During COVID, there was a mass influx of cash into government coffers. Budgets blew up. Corporations, including hospitals, got rich. And people were paid to stay home. But now, with the gravy train coming to an end, all these groups that got used to the fat stacks of government cash are seeing the writing on the wall.
So what are they doing? They're working double-time to install legislators who will keep the cash coming. What happens when the money runs out? Taxpayer dollars! This is why they keep trying to pass bills that replace the family with the government. It's woven into dozens of bills. Relying on the government means taxpayers foot the bill. The only thing standing in their way is real conservative fighters. Vote like it on May 21
