am running to continue the work done in my first term, to fulfill the promises I made to my constituency. Those promises were to defend election integrity, reduce taxes, and end government overreach. I'm proud to say that we have made significant progress in those areas: strengthening voter ID requirements, eliminating the use of outside money by state election officials, cutting income tax rates, and reining in big government. There is much more to do, especially in reducing spending, banning chemtrails, repealing the grocery tax, and protecting our state from illegal immigration.
My business background, as an entrepreneur -- I founded the first retail computer store in New York City, and a high-tech advertising agency in California-- and sales and marketing professional provide the basis for my approach to solving problems. The free market inevitably provides the best solutions, with government action as a last resort. There are some things only government can do --police, fire, safety, and roads as examples-- but in most other instances we should look to the market for solutions. And now, having completed my first term I have an understanding of how Idaho's government works, and how best to apply these principles.
We have three significant issues: the cost of Medicaid, a failing education system, and the explosive growth of state spending, which is tied to the first two.
The largest budget increases over the past ten years have been in these two areas. Public school spending is up 96%, and Medicaid spending is up 74% (as of fiscal year 2024). Both of these numbers far outpace the growth in population, and if the pace continues, will bankrupt the state. We had some small wins in the 2025 Medicaid budget, but its growth now makes it the single largest budget item.
As a fiscal conservative, I will continue to work and vote to reduce this spending.
There is no criminal liability for physicians or pregnant women in an emergency life-threatening situation, this is an often repeated lie. Idaho Code Section 18-622, specifically cites the following exceptions to the ban on abortion: "documented cases of rape, incest and the life of the mother." If a physician determines that the woman is at immediate risk of life, the doctor is free to do what is necessary to save the woman's life.
When I ran for this office, I promised several things: Fiscal responsibility, smaller government, election integrity, and a defense of family values.
I promised to be fiscally conservative, to put a brake on out-of-control spending, and to reduce taxes. In my first term, I voted against budget increases, and for tax cuts, and I will continue to do so.
I promised to fight for election integrity, and I introduced and co-sponsored numerous bills to safeguard our elections. Some passed and became law, and some failed, but I will continue the fight.
I promised to uphold family values, and introduced a resolution creating Traditional Family Values Month. It passed the House overwhelmingly but died in the Senate.
I have done what I promised.
Working with my fellow legislators, I want to change the current atmosphere of divisiveness and the extremely misguided and hurtful decisions regarding women's health, lgbtq+ issues, and our libraries and schools.
Life experiences - a single parent of a transgender child growing up in rural Idaho, serving on church governing boards and art boards, and knowing what it is like to struggle financially and navigate through difficult times.
The loss of our ob-gyn healthcare providers, the waste of taxpayer dollars through avoidable litigation challenges, and the misdirected focus from real issues facing our state
Yes! Government should not insert itself into the difficult medical decisions faced by individuals and their physicians. While I do believe all life is precious, it is not a legislative duty to deny a person's right to have all healthcare options available.
All legislators should approach their work in a spirit of cooperation and kindness. To ask tough questions such as -
How does this law help my fellow citizens?
Does it promote a positive experience for everyone?
Does it harm anyone?
How can I work in a positive way with my fellow legislators to solve the real and present problems of this world
