Precinct Committeeman for Precinct 205
No.
I would encourage candidates to participate in voter information efforts, face-to-face debates, and forums whenever possible. Voters need to know where the candidates stand on issues.
First, skills are very important for being able to handle the task at hand. Second, local experience. Third, qualifications. Finally, adherence to a national party.
I believe that I am the best candidate to represent my neighborhood because I am committed to honesty and transparency. I believe that it is healthy to have turnover in government to reduce power games and corruption.
In my professional life I have worked hard to attain doctoral and residency training. I currently maintain and operate an anesthesia practice in the community. I would be honored to also work hard to serve you as a precinct committeeman.

Precint 205 Precinct Committeeman
Yes. I have been volunteering since 2009 and I was first elected in 2016. I currently serve as the chairman of our local Republican Party.
Yes I will and have been for the last ten years. Informing the voter is a high priority. I helped create, publish and distribute the KCRCC Voter Guide which is delivered to every mailbox in the county. We also have Town Halls and support Candidate Forums put on by sister organizations like Republican Women, Pachyderms and Reagan Republicans.
Qualifications and life experience are most important. If a candidate is representing themselves as a Republican then the Republican Party has a responsibility to vet the candidate to see if they agree with the Republican State Party Platform. This information should be given to the voter so they can make an informed choice. In this upcoming election there is a self identified Biden supporter who unaffiliated with the Republican party but now claims to be a "Lifelong Republican." Voters need to know this so they can make an informed choice.
I understand my precinct and the needs of Kootenai County. Before every election I mail a personal letter to the households in my precinct with important information so they can be better informed. I lead the effort to defeat the Unified Land Use Code (ULUC) that would have adversely affected property rights. I successfully fought against the acquisition of Avista by Canada's Hydro One that would have doubled our electricity rates. I testified against changing our county's form of government from elected to appointed officials. I won the 2020 Idaho Republican Party Hall of Fame MVP Award. I personally know all our local, state and federal elected officials and have put my neighbors directly in touch with them when they need assistance.
