| Collapse all
Kelly and I have operated the Meridian Speedway since 2009. Prior to the Meridian Speedway, we spent 2 years in Roseburg, Oregon operating the Douglas County Speedway, from 2007-2009. In 2003 I left my job in commercial construction where I specialized in framing and acoustic ceilings. It was then we started our racing business at Chaparral Speedway in Eagle, ID. Together Kelly and I started building our business while maintaining the stay-at-home lifestyle for our children as they grew up. I have a passion for the American Dream, I want my grandkids to be able to realize their own American Dream.
I believe we protect the American Dream by first protecting things at home. Idaho is my home, Meridian is my home. With your vote, I will represent the people of Meridian in District 21a with transparency and honor.- I'm running to be your Representative in District 21a because the representation we have now, is not what I and I know many others believed we were voting for in the last election. Big Government, big spending is not what I signed up for. Candidates who campaign on conservative values and do the opposite once elected have a name. I hope you will help me take one Idaho seat and give it back to the people.
- Illegal immigration, Government spending and inflation are foremost on our minds when it comes to the issues we are faced with today.
Illegal immigration should be stopped in its tracks. Government spending is out of control, it should be reduced to the needs of the people, not the needs of the special interest.
Inflation, we are all victims of the failed policies nationally, shoring up State level policies to protect Idahoans is a priority. - Strict fiscal responsibility and transparency is a promise I make to the constituents of District 21a Meridian.
