Doug Rich completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Rich's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- I am obsessed with the truth. I can usually tell when someone is lying to me. I will be honest.
- I am a family man. I have been married to the same wonderful woman for over 60 years, which may tell you about my ability to adapt and compromise but not violate basic principles. I want to help Idaho be a place where families can live in peace and prosperity.
- Taxes! My goal is to reduce as many taxes as possible. First, I will work hard to repeal the grocery tax. I will propose a code that will allow those who have lived in their house and have paid property tax for 20 years or more not to pay any more property tax. I believe the lost revenue can be made up by reducing the glut in many programs.
