DONATE

Here are some of the issues I am dedicated to:

Economic Growth

Idaho has shown great potential for growth. In order to sustain that growth, focusing on small business and fostering programs for businesses is crucial.

  • A strong economy relies on quality education and a solid workforce
  • Health care must be affordable and accessible to all Idahoans
  • To succeed, businesses need a stable tax structure
  • Small businesses must be able to compete to succeed
  • Fair treatment of employees and paying a living wage is critical

Public Education

The Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution requires equal protection under the laws, so when a state provides public education, it must provide equal access to a quality education to all citizens.

  • Better funding for education in Idaho
  • Higher teacher salaries to maintain high quality teachers
  • Funding rural school districts
  • Funding for Pre-K programs across Idaho
  • Funding for full time kindergarten
  • Funding for post high school programs, community college, and universities
  • Access to broadband for all schools and students
  • Access to information based on science, truth, and history

Public Lands

With influence over the Idaho Land Board, the Lieutenant Governor is charged with the very important task of protecting and preserving our great public lands with the state of Idaho.

  • Public lands must stay in the hands of the public, not privatized
  • The wilderness and recreational areas, public lands, rivers, and wildlife define Idaho
  • Preserving open space and natural resources is a top priority
  • I will fight to maintain access to public lands for recreation, hunting, fishing
  • We must protect our Idaho heritage for future generations

Civil Rights

I believe in protecting civil rights and I will be a champion for citizens, ensuring that all of their rights are protected and every person is entitled to equal justice under the law. When we protect our civil rights, we are protecting our freedoms.

  • Freedom of speech
  • Freedom of privacy
  • Freedom of choice and bodily autonomy
  • Freedom of and from religion
  • Freedom to love and marry whomever we choose
  • Freedom from discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin
