My family has multi-generational roots in Idaho. We love this community. I homeschooled our two daughters and taught English classes for homeschooling students here for many years. Today, I serve as the Kimberly School District Foundation President. My experiences in public and private education help guide my vision for strong public education with innovation and alternatives. I’ll make sure parents have control over their children’s education.
For more than 12 years, I have been very involved with the local Twin Falls County Republicans. I’ve worked on many campaigns to elect conservative Republicans, but the time has come for me to run for office myself and take the values I cherish and that resonate with Idahoans to the Capitol. While Idaho is a beacon of conservative politics in the United States, we must take nothing for granted. I am committed to a strong conservative agenda, representing the experiences and ideals of Magic Valley residents.
While Idaho is a beacon of conservative politics in the United States, we must take nothing for granted. I am committed to a strong conservative agenda, representing the experiences and ideals of Magic Valley residents. Together we will build and preserve Idaho’s foundation of patriotism and freedom.- Defending Your Values--I am a pro-life, pro-2nd Amendment fiscal conservative. I will defend our conservative Republican Idaho values at the State Capitol.
- Promoting Your Parental Rights in Education--I am a strong supporter of education and i recognize that the success of our state depends upon educating our children in the right way. We do not need liberal ideologies taught in the classroom. We also need parents, students and teachers to feel supported. This happens best when there is more local control of schools and parents and teachers work together.
- Putting You First, Protecting Your Community--Idaho is the fastest growing state in the country but I understand the importance of limited government and of putting our families first. I will work to ensure that Idaho is prepared for the future while protecting the interests of Idaho families, agricultural industry, and small businesses.
I am particularly passionate about ensuring that we offer great education here in Idaho. Education determines our future and we should be the leaders of education in our country, making sure our K-3 literacy rates are high and that children have the tools they need to be successful. Local control is one way to encourage good education practices.
In addition to education, we need to plan for the future with good infrastructure planning. This takes effort from both government and private businesses to ensure that our roads and bridges are safe and that they adequately accommodate the growing number of people throughout our state.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
