Idaho State Senate D28
If elected to Idaho State Senate District 28, I will focus on strengthening budget transparency so constituents know exactly how their tax dollars are spent, supporting smart growth and infrastructure investments that keep our rural communities safe and thriving, and ensuring every voice is heard, especially those, all too often, left out of state-level decisions. My goal is a district that is fiscally responsible, welcoming, and responsive to all. By investing in education, expanding access to rural healthcare, protecting our agricultural heritage, and following through with service in action, we can create opportunities for families and children to learn, grow, and thrive in the communities we're proud to call home.
My career and volunteer experience have prepared me to serve effectively in the Idaho State Senate. Through the years I have worked in emergency and psychiatric medical services, disaster planning, and managed teams across both public and private sectors. My current career experience includes business and budget management, federal grant oversight, and service as a board member, treasurer, and city advisory board member. I've also volunteered with the Humane Society, Red Cross, multiple food pantries and shelters, Bannock County Search and Rescue, and foster care support. These hands-on, real life experiences have shaped who I am in leadership, accountability, vision and compassion. I am committed to serving with integrity and common sense.
District 28 faces real pressures: agricultural uncertainty, underfunded rural schools, a shortage of healthcare providers, and infrastructure that hasn't kept pace with growth. Too many families struggle to find affordable housing and a stable footing. I want to address these issues while ensuring that children of all ages and backgrounds have safe spaces to learn, and become tomorrow's leaders. I will advocate for equitable education funding, rural healthcare workforce solutions, and responsible development policies that protect both our agricultural economy and our quality of life. By focusing on these priorities, while also remaining flexible and adaptable as a leader, we can build a stronger, more connected district.
Public service is part of who I am. My father worked for the City of Pocatello for 42 years and was honored with a key to the city upon retirement. I carry that same loyalty and service to my community and prove this through my actions. I am dedicated to serving our State with integrity, accountability, and a strong work ethic. Most importantly, I will listen to your feedback on community matters, both the good and the bad, to assure that I am seeing all perspectives of our neighbors. I am not someone who sits idly by when I see injustice. I was taught to always defend the ones who can not defend themselves and to stand up for what is right, even if you’re standing alone. I hope you will stand with me.
