Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

Tina Lambert (R)

Our freedoms in Idaho are being stolen, and I am ready to stand in the gap and fight for freedom for the people of Idaho.

Taxes are too high because government is too big. We must cut the unnecessary programs and allow the citizens of Idaho to keep more of their hard-earned money.

We need a new way of educating children. We need a system that is responsive to parents, and provides parents real choices; choices that are affordable and effective in the education of our young people.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Tina Lambert (R)

Liberty is my number one priority. The government, unelected bureaucrats and big businesses are not our nanny. We must take back our freedom in Idaho and stop the slide into full-on socialism.

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

Tina Lambert (R)

I greatly admire Dorothy Moon for her no-nonsense, tell-it-like-it is attitude. She is a straight shooter, and unwilling to compromise the truth.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Tina Lambert (R)

Honesty, integrity, reliability, someone who is conscientious, thorough, and has a good work ethic. Someone who truly cares for others and isn't motivated by selfish ambition.

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

Tina Lambert (R)

Honesty, integrity, reliability, and a desire to serve my fellow Idahoans and represent their concerns and interests.

What legacy would you like to leave?

Tina Lambert (R)

I would like to leave a legacy of freedom; freedom for my children and grandchildren to pursue their dreams unhampered by government and bureaucratic overreach.

What was the last song that got stuck in your head?

Tina Lambert (R)

One of the pieces that we're playing in the symphony.

What do you believe is the ideal relationship between the governor and state legislature?

Tina Lambert (R)

According to the constitution, the legislature is to make laws and the governor is to see that they are implemented.

What do you perceive to be your state's greatest challenges over the next decade?

Tina Lambert (R)

Idaho's greatest challenge is coping with and managing the tremendous growth that is occurring.

Do you believe it’s beneficial to build relationships with other legislators? Please explain your answer.

Tina Lambert (R)

I do think that is beneficial. It is always beneficial to build relationships with colleagues, as we work together for the people of Idaho.

If you are not a current legislator, are there certain committees that you would want to be a part of?

Tina Lambert (R)

There are a number of committees I would enjoy serving on, including education, health and welfare, local government, revenue and taxation, state affairs, and transportation and defense.

Is there a particular legislator, past or present, whom you want to model yourself after?

Tina Lambert (R)

Dorothy Moon.

Are you interested in running for a different political office (for example, the U.S. Congress or governor) in the future?

Tina Lambert (R)

I wouldn't rule that out, but at this time I am simply interested in representing my fellow Idahoans in the House of Representatives.

Should the legislature oversee or grant the use of emergency powers?

Tina Lambert (R)

The legislature should most definitely oversee the governor's use of emergency powers, to be sure that those powers are not overused and/or abused.

Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking?

Tina Lambert (R)

I believe that policymakers should cooperate, be respectful, and cultivate good working relationships, but I will never compromise where the truth is concerned.
