I am a Pediatric Licensed Practical Nurse who lives and grew up in Kuna Idaho. I am passionate about preserving the conservative values that Idaho was founded upon. I want to fight viscously for the preservation and expansion of the Second Amendment and protecting the right to life for all people. I am focused on utilizing technology to its fullest extent to keep the Constituents of District 22 involved and informed of the legislative process.
- I am the conservative choice in a progressive world
- I will fight to give the little guy a voice
- I am not a politician and owe allegiance to no one aside from all residents of District 22
I am passionate about lowering taxes, especially the property tax, preserving the second amendment, and fighting for the life of the unborn. Being a pediatric nurse I have seen first hand how valuable life is. I want to ensure that all Americans are able to practice their unalienable rights guaranteed by the constitution, regardless of their age. Americans, and especially Idahoans, deserve someone who is willing to strengthen their second amendment rights. I want to ensure that all Idahoans have a second amendment that shall not be infringed upon.
Sarah Huckabee Sanders was the Press Secretary for President Trump from 2017 to 2019. Throughout her time as a press secretary she was completely fearless and straight forward. She would never cower to the intimidating reporters. She often put them in their place in order to clarify the truth. While at the correspondents dinner she was mocked and insulted by comedian Michelle Wolf. Rather than acting angry or upset she sat at her table with all the class and integrity I would hope I would have in such a situation.
When asked about role models Sarah Huckabee Sanders said "When it comes to role models, as a person of faith, I think we all have one perfect role model. And when I'm asked the question, I point to God and to my faith. And that's where I tell my kids to look." This is not a popular answer today when God is mocked and disrespected. Yet, she was able to state the truth. She does not mince words and is a woman of integrity and intelligence. I very much admire what a fearless and truthful woman she is and hope to be like her in my own political career, no matter how short or long it may be.

Transparency and accessibility. As an elected official you answer to those who put in office and they deserve your every effort to make the process open, accessible, and transparent. An elected official ought to not be bought. I am a normal person who is for the most part self-funding their campaign. My allegiance is to district 22 and not large donors.
Nursing School was one of my biggest struggles. Through my education I realized I did not know everything, and understood that in order to learn you have to be willing to put the time and effort into it. I will approach the legislature the same way. While I do not know everything there is to know about the Idaho Legislature, whatI can guarantee is a tenacious and fearless mentality to learn and to aggressively defend our conservative values.
No I do not. The founding fathers wanted to give each and every state a voice. The house of representatives is just that, a representative chamber. It is not meant to have career politicians as they often do not represent to wishes of their residents.
Idaho's greatest challenge is how it deals with growth. The great secret of Idaho is making its way to the nation, and as such many people are moving here. Idaho must not loose sight of who it is and allow progressive ideologies to infiltrate. Idaho must hold true to its conservative nature!
We are social beings and as such we thrive when we have deep meaningful relationships with others. The Legislative chambers are no exception. At the end of the day I will represent the residents of District 22. In order to do this and to accomplish the issues that are most important to the district will require strong and meaningful relationships with members on both sides of aisle and in both chambers.
