Office Sought Idaho State Senator District 2
I would like to better represent Idaho's rural communities in District 2. My goal is to focus on the issues that are affecting all residents in District 2, regardless of political affiliation. Some examples are housing affordability, daycare, healthcare, and economic opportunities.
I've worked in the private sector as a Geologist in the mining industry, and later entered public service as an Environmental Health Specialist. I research legislative decisions to better serve the community regularly and understand the impact of these decisions on the average community member. I recently graduated from the National Environmental Health Association's Leadership Academy. A year long program designed to prepare me to better serve the community.
Collaboration with legislators from both parties.
As a resident of the Silver Valley, I believe we can only do better. I'm willing to work with people from all across the district to find common ground and identify ways we can solve problems on a local level. I plan on making my tenure as State Senator for District 2 about listening to the needs of my community.
