State Representative District 26-A
I will continue to support our educators and education to make sure that our students are ready to take on tomorrows challenges when they graduate . I will continue to look at ways to store Idaho's most precious community which is water. Whether we look to rebuild the Teton Dam or raise American Falls, or Minidoka dams To continue to back our men and women in blue and I will push again next year to ban Kratom which has been linked to addiction as well as overdoses of our Idaho citizens. I will also like to find ways to continue to fund Idaho's roads and bridges.
I would say spending the last two years in the Legislature has prepared me for re-election. I have established relationships with my fellow legislators, mayors, city council members and county commissioners in my district. In the past two years I have been able to help my constituents, cities and counties with issues they have faced. I always look for ways to be able to solve problems via collaboration amongst all parties involved. I have had several people call me a problem solver which I am honored to be called that.
Making sure that our State of Idaho agencies are adequately funded along with balancing the budget. Agencies such as education, health and welfare, transportation and defense, Idaho State Police, Agriculture, Corrections just to name few. They all face challenges and we need to be a part of helping them.
I am first born generation Idahoan and United States. My father escaped communism in the late 1940's. He met my mother in Germany and immigrated here to the United States. I will always be thankful that my dad risk his life to give me freedom and I will be forever grateful. My past civic involvement in my communities, work history with Idaho Power for 30 years and being a professor of economics at the College of Southern Idaho has given me the experience to take on the challenges that were set before me these past two years. It has been an honor and privilege to serve my district for the past two years. I am a Public Servant and I am here to serve my constituents and our Great State of Idaho. I would appreciate your vote.
