| Collapse all
- Protect Idaho's Children. Our children are under attack from radicals even before they are born and well after. I am Pro-Life and will never allow to give cover to radicals who surgically mutilate or Kill our children
- Defend 2nd Amendment. Idaho has failed to pass legislation to protect gun owners for criminals and liberal anti-gun prosecutors. I will always protect our 2nd Amendment right!
- Cut taxes and stop spending. High Taxes and out-of-control spending have hurt our economy. I will be a watchdog against government waste.
There must be more accountability to the State Agencies for their overall spending and find ways to reduce big spending.
Taxes.
One item I am in favor of is repealing the Grocery Tax.

All finances spent in any campaign should be public knowledge. Any organization using funds to promote or endorse a candite must be transparent in their spending.
