Idaho US House District 1
Congress is divided into two institutions: the House of Representatives and the Senate.Members of the House serve a 2-year term. The two houses of Congress have equal but unique roles in the federal government. While they share legislative responsibilitiesto make laws, to serve as a representative assembly, and to oversee the administration of public policy, each house also has special constitutional duties and powers. The House possesses the sole authority to impeach federal officials and, in the case of indecisive Electoral College results, to elect a president.

My experience as a software engineer has prepared me to read through, analyze, and improve large bodies of code; legal code may be in a technical form of English rather than a programming language, but the principles are similar.
My experience in political action through the Libertarian Party has prepared me to deal with parliamentary rules and procedure in order to effectively navigate the bureaucratic tangles of Washington.
My goal is to stop the Federal government from continuing its habit of making everything worse, to allow normal people to rebuild their lives without the curse of government "help."
The most significant challenge that Idahoans face is the continued and worsening taxation, regulation, and market distortion imposed upon us by the bureaucracies of Washington, DC. I can slow down, halt, and possibly reverse those predations, and give ordinary people the breathing room they need to address the broad variety of problems in their own lives.
The government is an institution that uses violence to enforce the will of those controlling it. Anyone relying on it to solve problems gives it power over their lives, and it is nearly guaranteed that within a few years, someone will come into power and abuse it.
You have the ability to solve problems in your own life through your own action and through voluntary cooperation with your neighbors and your community. The more you do that, the less important the people in the government will be in your life. I can slow down the government as it tries to destroy you, but you must take up responsibility to improve your own life.
