Priority Issues:

Continuing to advance education reform

  • Working with all parties to implement smart and sustainable water policies
  • Identifying real solutions for healthcare that fit Idaho's needs
  • Reason for Seeking Public Office:

    I believe District 34 needs a representative who will vote in the best interests of the district and not hand our vote to a Boise-based, special-interest group. A vote for me will put all the oars rowing in the same direction for southeast Idaho.

    In addition, I am the current chairman for the Madison County Republican Central Committee, and I have been a Precinct Committeeman for several years. I pledge to you that I'll make every effort to work with other legislators to represent Idaho's conservative values by:

    Promoting free enterprise, economic growth & low taxes

  • Limiting government regulation, keeping decisions local & ensuring government serves the people
  • Defending the right to bear arms
  • Protecting our water rights
  • Pursuing equal rights, justice & opportunity for all
  • Finding responsible, state-based solutions to provide people with better access to healthcare
  • Policy Positions
