There are no Primary contests for this position. Idaho House of Representatives members serve a 2-year term and are responsible for translating the public will into public policy for the state, levying taxes, appropriating public funds, and overseeing the administration of state agencies. These responsibilities are carried out through the legislative process — laws passed by elected representatives of the people, legislators.
If elected, I will strengthen education funding to ensure every child in Idaho has access to quality schools, as outlined in our state constitution. I will advocate for comprehensive healthcare access, including reproductive care, to support the needs of all Idahoans. As a user of our public lands and waterways, I will protect these vital resources while promoting sustainable economic development. I will also work to curb growing taxes, especially for those on fixed incomes, including retirees and individuals with disabilities. By prioritizing transparency and accountability in government, I aim to build a brighter future for all Idahoans, ensuring that compassion, opportunity, and fairness guide every decision made in Boise.
My background in education and public service prepares me to effectively represent District 5. With a Doctorate in Educational Leadership and a Master’s in Public Administration, I have honed skills in strategic decision-making and community engagement.
My experience on the Montana Board of Regents, overseeing a billion-dollar budget, taught me the value of fiscal responsibility and the need for transparency in government. I am dedicated to ensuring every voice in our community is heard and valued.
I will prioritize collaboration and advocate for policies that enhance educational access and support local needs. Together, we can tackle the challenges facing our district and create a brighter future for all Idahoans.
Education funding in Idaho is critically low, leading to larger class sizes and teacher shortages. We must prioritize education for all children, as outlined in Idaho's constitution. Every child deserves access to quality education, which means investing in our schools and supporting our teachers.
Healthcare access is another major challenge; many residents struggle to afford necessary services. Idaho is losing doctors who are being legislated out of performing their jobs, resulting in longer wait times for appointments and poor health outcomes. We need to enshrine reproductive care as a fundamental right and lower prescription costs.
Housing affordability is increasingly problematic, making it tough for families to secure stable homes.
I firmly support legislation to remove criminal liability for physicians and pregnant women seeking healthcare. Government has no place in the doctor’s office; these critical decisions belong to patients as informed by their healthcare providers.
Idaho’s restrictive abortion laws have led to a lawsuit from the U.S. government, exposing our failure to provide essential standards of care. This must change. Women deserve access to healthcare long before their lives are endangered, and doctors should be to conduct their profession without fear of prosecution.
I am committed to prioritizing patient care and protecting both doctors and women in Idaho. It’s time to take a stand for compassion and accountability.
I love Idaho and cherish our public lands and waterways, which are vital to our way of life. As a user of these resources, I am dedicated to protecting them for future generations.
I believe in a government that remains small and focused on serving its citizens. It should stay out of our doctors’ offices, off our library shelves, and out of our bedrooms. This means respecting personal choices and ensuring access to essential services like healthcare and education.
I will advocate for policies that foster economic opportunity and sustainability, ensuring our communities thrive without unnecessary government interference. Together, we can build a brighter, more inclusive future for all Idahoans.
