Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am born-again Christian, conservative, liberty-lover, and proud Idahoan. I hold undergraduate degrees in criminal justice, political science, international studies, and history; and a graduate degree in public policy: international affairs. I currently serve as an officer in the Idaho Republican Party and have worked as an educator and policy researcher since graduating university. I am passionate about preserving Idaho's sovereignty, utilizing its resources wisely, and protecting the freedom it has always afforded its citizens.

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?

• Fiscal Responsibility- Balancing the budget, reducing spending, and offering real tax relief.
• Education- Promoting education choice, eradicating Critical Race Theory, Gender Theory, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), Social Emotional Learning (SEL), and Marxism from school curricula; and codifying civics requirements for high school graduation.
• Limited Government- Preserving state sovereignty, and safeguarding individual liberty.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Fiscal responsibility, education, life, election integrity, and Chinese foreign policy.

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

Honesty, courage, conviction, integrity, and humility.

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

I am deeply dedicated to protecting, preserving, and expanding liberty in this state and I am willing and ready to fight for Idaho. I love to research and will be thorough in educating myself on the issues facing this state and any legislation brought before me. I am an attentive listener and desire to hear from constituents and work towards solving the issues they believe are facing this state and our district while remaining steadfast in my values and beliefs. I am grounded on principles of integrity, justice, and liberty and stand with and for the people of Idaho.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

Uphold the U.S. and Idaho State Constitutions and represent the will of the people.

Do you believe that it’s beneficial for state legislators to have previous experience in government or politics?

While experience offers advantages for any position, I believe that Idaho often suffers under career politicians whose interests do not reside with the people. The large majority of our Founding Fathers were not only politically inexperienced but there were also many young among them. They were ordinary farmers, merchants, businessmen, and writers who had the extraordinary vision of a country for the people and by the people. I believe that Idaho needs fewer career politicians who may have "political experience" and more liberty-loving public servants.

Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am a born-again Christian, educator, and liberty-lover. I graduated with high honors from the College of Western Idaho in 2017 with degrees in criminal justice, liberal arts, and political science and graduated magna cum laude with degrees in history and international studies from Northwest Nazarene University in 2020. I am passionate about educating and have been blessed with teaching American and world history, psychology, English, writing, and American government in classrooms overseas as well as in our great state. Idaho is my home and I am passionate about preserving its sovereignty, utilizing its resources wisely, and protecting the freedom it has always afforded Idahoans. Unfortunately, I have watched the Idaho of my childhood begin to slip in the past few years with overt abuses of liberty, ever-increasing federal encroachment, and liberal legislation that is slipping into our government and schools. Though I never imagined myself running for political office, I firmly believe that it is our duty to protect life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness in our country and state, especially when those sacred rights are being infringed. When elected, I will work for the people of Idaho not as a politician, but as a public servant.

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?

• Protect Medical Freedom and Life
• Promote Fiscal Conservatism
• Preserve Agriculture and Limit Urban Encroachment

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Medical Freedom, Life, Education, Tax Relief, Agriculture, and Criminal Justice (Drug Control and Second Amendment Rights).

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

My parents have always been my role models. The most important principle they taught their children, and continue to live out daily, is loving Jesus Christ with all their heart, mind, and strength. Out of their love for Christ naturally flows an attitude of sacrifice and servitude. Throughout my life, they have led by example in their family, church, and community and instilled a hard work ethic in each of their children. They love our country fiercely and have always been passionate about protecting and serving America and Idaho in a multitude of ways. They instilled that love and deep-seated patriotism in all their children that have led each of us to serve our country, state, or community in some capacity.

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

I am deeply dedicated to protecting, preserving, and expanding liberty in this state and I am willing and ready to fight for Idaho. I love to research and will be thorough in educating myself on the issues facing this state and any legislation brought before me. I am an attentive listener and desire to hear from constituents and work towards solving the issues they believe are facing this state and our district while remaining steadfast in my values and beliefs. I am grounded on principles of integrity, justice, and liberty and stand with and for the people of Idaho.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

The core responsibilities of a state Representative are: representing the will of the people, being reachable, keeping constituents informed, serving the people of Idaho and the Constitution, and protecting, preserving, and expanding liberty in our great state.

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

I believe some of the greatest challenges facing Idaho in the next decade are: urban sprawl, resource and agricultural preservation, and cost of living.

Do you believe that it’s beneficial for state legislators to have previous experience in government or politics?

While experience offers advantages for any position, I believe that Idaho often suffers under career politicians whose interests do not lie with the people. The large majority of our Founding Fathers were not only politically inexperienced but there were also many young among them. They were ordinary farmers, merchants, businessmen, and writers who had the extraordinary vision of a country for the people and by the people. I believe that Idaho needs fewer career politicians who may have "political experience" and more liberty-loving public servants.

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

Yes.
