Campaign Statement
As a member of the Idaho House for the last 5 ½ years, I have championed policy to strengthen Idaho’s agriculture, business climate, education, and stood as a voice for our most vulnerable citizens. Based on my 47 years working in the legal field, my family’s history of farming, ranching, and running small businesses, my 15 years of teaching experience at LCSC, together with my experience as a Legislator, I am uniquely qualified to represent you in the Senate. I am known for my ability to communicate effectively, my tenacity and commitment to getting things done, and for my collaboration and work across the aisle. With your help and vote on May 19, together we will continue our efforts on behalf of Dist. 6.

Idaho Senate - District 6
I will continue to be a champion for education and for families to find the right option. In addition, I will continue to listen and be a true voice for the people of Dist. 6. Water, infrastructure, and transportation, should remain priorities for our state and for our District. Idaho has a serious shortage of large vets. I have worked hard to get a better program established for our "Large Vet. Students" in our state. The next step is to find funding. I will continue to work on this and find a solution. This year we worked to make responsible budget decisions; however, some cuts were made too deeply. We need to revisit some of these deep cuts to protect our most vulnerable citizens.
My 5 1/2 yrs in the Idaho House of Representatives, 47 years of work experience in the legal field, my 15+ years of teaching experience, my experience running small businesses, including a real estate development business, my husband's law practice, and my hands-on involvement in my family's cattle operation. I bring a unique set of skills to this position.
The ed. funding formula is seriously lacking transparency. I will work with the Superintendent to find solutions. The fed. govt., has mandated that public schools enroll all students, including our special needs kids. Our schools comply but are not adequately reimbursed by the Feds nor the State to cover the costs. In a local Dist. it costs $50,000 a yr. for 1 student. A study shows Idaho is $100 million short in adequately funding special ed. We CAN and MUST do better! Idaho made broad budget cuts across the board. I felt we should have looked individually at each budget and cut accordingly. Some units can withstand the 5% or more, but others cannot. We need to find solutions immediately as we are hurting our most vulnerable citizens.
Friends, please VOTE in the primary. Many people skip this election and wait to the general. In Idaho, the primary is the MOST IMPORTANT election. A recent survey shows approx. 70% of Idahoans are unhappy with the direction we are heading in our state. The only way we change directions, is to vote for reasonable, and commonsense legislators who will listen and work for YOU, the people. We are at a crossroads in Idaho. We can do business as usual, or we can take bold steps by voting for CHANGE. Please vote McCann for Senate in District 6. I will bring your voice and your issues to Boise and will BOLDLY stand up for you in the Idaho Senate.
