Some of my key legislative priorities are property tax abatement leading to elimination, government spending reduction, public land access and management, food security, and entitlement reform. I would like to see Idaho retain its culture and expand the freedoms that make Idaho the Gem of the Pacific Northwest. I plan to work with my fellow legislators to ensure that the citizens of Idaho are able to safely walk the streets of their community, start and maintain small businesses, access public lands for recreation and self-sufficiency purposes, educate and advocate appropriate medical care for their children as they see fit, own property free and clear from governmental encumbrances, and once again have faith in our electoral system.
I am a wife, mother and grandmother who has worked in the public sector, the private sector and owned a small business. I have seen, firsthand, good and bad governmental regulation as well as wasteful spending. As a current member of my local Planning and Zoning Commission, I see the impact that governmental decisions have on the lives and livelihoods of citizens. I believe strongly that my background has provided me with a unique perspective that balances the rights of the individual with the needs of a community and I plan to bring that perspective to the Idaho House of Representatives.
I believe that one of the biggest hurdles facing our current legislative body is one of gridlock. Far too many bills are being placed in drawers until deals are cut and legislators are compromised. As someone who believes that character is a trait one exhibits when no-one else is looking, I feel that my most significant challenge will be accepting that bills I may sponsor or co-sponsor might be couched due to my refusal to 'play ball'. In my mind, my job is to represent the will of the people from my district, not cave to leadership or compromise my morals for fancy dinners and/or accommodations.
If elected, my plan is to maintain open lines of communication with my constituents, both during session and beyond. I feel that it is critical for every representative to hear the good, the bad and the ugly from those who are directly affected by the decisions they make. If anyone has questions about who I am, how I think, what I believe or how I plan to vote, all they need to do is ask.
