Expand all | Collapse all

I am working class. I have worked in industrial maintenance the past 8 years. I am a disabled Navy Veteran. I served as an aircrewman for 5 years. I love time spent in the outdoors. I enjoy hiking, hunting and fishing as well as kayaking. I am passionate about the environment, education, and human rights. I come from a large family and understand poverty and hard times.
  • The environment is ours to protect, and it's time for the U.S. to lead on this issue. Clean air and water are essential to the health and wellbeing of Idahoans and needs to be protected at all cost. Idaho needs to adopt a robust recycling program and could benefit from large composting operations as well.
  • Education is a right and is provided for in the Idaho Constitution. Vouchers and "School Choice" are bad for the economy, unfair for most people, and potentially discriminatory to some. Investment in our children is essential and should be at the top of the list for legislative priorities. I am not against choice, but taxpayers should not be expected to pay for private or homeschooling education. Investment in our public schools is our responsibility.
  • Medical care is essential to the wellbeing of the people of Idaho. Many people do not have access to traditional insurance. The people of Idaho through the ballot initiative process overwhelmingly passed Medicaid Expansion. I is the responsibility government to implement ballot measures that pass, but it is a slap in the face to the people to undermine their will by sabotaging the program with unreasonable requirements.
Environment, Education, and Healthcare. Agriculture, and public lands are very important as well.
Not much for hero worship, but I take inspiration politically from Jamie Raskin and Cory Booker.
This may sound corny, but just about any post-apocalyptic film shows that it is the working people that have the inherent skills and ability to carry on after a catastrophic event. Farmers can grow, builders can build, teachers can teach, small business owners can curate the right products to keep communities going, clergymen and women can comfort those that draw comfort from religion, and laborers can assist in all of these trades. It is the elite that become the needy in a catastrophic event, and that is why I am a champion for the working class.
Honesty, courage, and commitment. Although legislators have to take tough vote at times, the should be ready to explain themselves to their constituents. Honesty is key. Government is not widely trusted, and honesty and transparency are essential to regaining that trust. All things in life should be carried out with commitment, relationships, careers and especially the work done by elected officials.
Craft and or support legislation that is beneficial to the majority of the people. Stand in the way of bad and poorly crafted bills and communicate frequently with constituents.
I would like to leave something good that is long-lasting and beneficial for the masses.
The attack of Kuwait perpetrated by Iraq. I was 13. The Oklahoma bombing in 1995 was probably more impactful for me. I was 18 and lived in Oklahoma at the time.
Whatever I am reading at the time.
The Invisible Man. To be a fly on the wall in many conversations would be enlightening.
Finding my place in the world. I have tried several careers since leaving the Navy, but haven't settled yet.
The governor is in a unique position as a state-wide elected official. It is his duty to take into consideration the will of the legislature, while at the same time taking cues from the general public. The governor has to take into consideration how a bill will affect all of Idaho, when individual lawmakers only answer to their districts.
The biggest challenge that I see is an ever-widening gap between people based on their political identity. It is my opinion that this is more prevalent on the far right, but the far left is not blameless. This is caused by misinformation and disinformation propagated over the internet. The partisanship of the media and loss of critical thinking skills among the population
I think experience helps with understanding the processes of government, but new blood and ideas are necessary to keep the world progressing.
100% If you try to go it alone nothing will get done by you on behalf of your constituents. Reaching across the aisle is important as well. Most elected officials represent people from more than just their own party.
Jamie Raskin is smart and relatable, but not flashy. Although I don't agree politically with John McCain, I hope that I would be able to go against my own party on an issue that I truly believed in like he did with the affordable care act.
I have listened to teachers that love their profession and working with children that are terrified by the hostility the Idaho conservatives have towards them. These professionals have bachelor and higher-level degrees and for some reason they are denigrated and bullied by conservatives. I have heard over and over from legislators that the schools are broken, but none of them are offering ways to "fix" it. It always comes down to choice with them, when there is already plenty of choice.
How do you scare a unique ninja?........You neak up on him:)
At the state level, I don't see the need for emergency powers. At the national level, yes. Under very, very limited circumstance a President may need additional powers to address a national emergency, but that power should be relinquished immediately after the problem is eliminated. I don't think our current administration cares much about the limit to the power that the executive has.
I would like to say that I would introduce a bill that begins the process of making Idaho an example state for the stewardship of the environment. By first implementing a statewide recycling program that is administered by the municipalities but supported at the state level.
Education, environment, ethics, agriculture, and healthcare
I would have ballot initiatives that pass constitutional and fiscal muster become part of the constitution of Idaho and unrepealable by the legislature.
