Office Sought Precinct Committeeman
I volunteered and helped my precinct committeeman with the Idaho Presidential Caucus for 2024 at my precinct location and ensured an accurate, hand-counted vote (Trump won). If you’re a voter in precinct 310, I ask for your vote in order to have the opportunity to serve for the first time.
Yes. Voters should hear from local candidates. Candidates should make information available about their policy positions and priorities relevant to the duties and responsibilities of the office they seek. Forums and debates are a great opportunity to do that.

I believe it’s important to have a vision for the future, problem-solving skills, and the ability to collaborate with others (while holding to Christian principles). I want to make Kootenai County a great place for families to live, grow, and prosper.
Experience gives the best view into a candidate’s worldview, their principles, and how they live and act. Actions speak louder than words. Local experience is a piece of the broader picture of experience.

A candidate needs skills and qualifications relevant to the position, coupled with humility and the willingness to listen and learn. I would look at these together. Without relevant skills, a candidate can do more harm than good and end up being counter-productive.

I believe it’s important to consider the party platform and how well that’s demonstrated in a candidate’s experience. Some party planks will be more relevant to a particular position.
I'm a husband and father who wants to see Kootenai County thrive and be a great place for current and future generations to live their lives and do the work God has put before them.

I recognize the value of what exists in Kootenai County (and the City of Hayden) - the things that attracted me and my family to live here - and I want to build on that foundation for the future. My aim is to keep the character of the community intact and collaborate with citizens to solve the challenges facing our City and County.
