Loree Peery completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Peery's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Idaho is unsafe for pregnant women with our current abortion ban. There is uncertainty as to when and how to treat pregnancy emergencies, putting pregnant at extreme risk of death, disability, and loss of reproductive ability. We are losing qualified healthcare providers as a result. The legislature has no business making decisions for women, and telling physicians how to practice.
- Idaho is a "Right to Work" state. We have to strengthen our current labor laws in order for workers to enjoy a safe work environment, access to healthcare, and a livable wage. Too many workers cannot afford housing, or to buy food for their families. We lose workers to neighboring states as a result.
- Fund our public schools. The Idaho constitution mandates a free education to all. Even after adding funding this year, we are still last in the country for per pupil funding. The burden is currently on the taxpayers in the form of school levies. The legislature and governor would rather give tax refunds to the wealthy, than take care of our teachers and students. With this, I would advocate for universal pre-k also. Children at this age are avid learners. Let's give every child a jump start on their education, and give working parents access to pre-k, and affordable child care.
I have been a union nurse, and a non-union nurse. The difference is clear when it comes to pay and benefits. Union jobs are better in every way. We lose nurses to neighboring states all the time. It's more cost effective to pay nurses what they deserve, give them the benefits they deserve, than to have to hire travelers at an exorbitant rate
