As a candidate for office, my primary objective, is to restore our Constitutional Republic. I firmly believe that by upholding the principles outlined in the Republican Party Platform, we can achieve this goal. The platform serves as a robust framework, focusing on values that resonate with the Idahoans, including the importance of family, community, nation, and a thriving economy. By aligning my decisions and actions with these principles, I aim to foster a government that prioritizes individual liberties, limited government, and economic prosperity for all citizens.
My military service, including my time as an infantry soldier in Iraq and as a Civil-Military Operations noncommissioned officer in Afghanistan, uniquely prepared me for this office. Serving as a liaison between military and civilian nation, I spearheaded projects to enhance governance capacity, infrastructure development, and agriculture programs, by collaborating with local leaders, NGOs, and Government organizations. Through this experience, I honed leadership, strategic planning, and diplomacy skills vital for navigating complex challenges. I'm deeply committed to leveraging this background to effectively serve my community and uphold the core principles of our Constitutional Republic.

1. Combatting illegal immigration with strict consequences. 2. Fostering a thriving economy for small businesses and entrepreneurs. 3. Protecting children from harmful content and educating parents on safeguards. 4. Ensuring quality education aligned with community and family values. 5. Defending individual privacy from government and corporate overreach. 6. Advocating for secure, transparent elections with paper ballots. 7. Supporting first responders and veterans with the care they deserve.
As a pro-life advocate, I prioritize protecting unborn life while ensuring the health of both mother and child. Clear guidelines are vital to prevent abuse, ensuring decisions align with medical justification. Legislation removing criminal liability for physicians and pregnant women in life-threatening complications needs a balanced approach, allowing medical decisions to be made based on necessity.
Our state and nation are in dire need of action-oriented statesmen and representatives. As a proud decorated veteran and lifelong resident of Idaho, I've dedicated myself to serving our country and community. Upholding the conservative values that define us, Idaho needs representatives who prioritize the interests of our citizens above all else. With your support, I will be a principled voice for our state and its people, drawing on the discipline and dedication instilled in me during my military service.
