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
