My experience at the local level includes serving as, city council person, mayor, a member of a water and sewer board, and as a member of a planning and zoning board. In the larger community, I served as executive director of Healthy Families Nampa, a healthy marriage research project, and, as the Faith Base Liaison for two Republican administrations. For the last couple years, I’ve served as the lobbyist for Right to Life of Idaho, advocating for the unborn, disabled and elderly.
My education and background has provided me with; a good working knowledge of the legislative process, an appreciation for how critical working relationships are to the legislation making process, and how to represent the people I serve as I work to influence policy makers.- Faith and Public Policy - Family, church and government, and their respective laws, are founded and intended for the benefit of the people, not special interest groups or government institutions. Judeo-Christian principles served our founding fathers well as they drafted the U.S. Constitution for our nation. Those same principles should guide all aspects of the public policy making process and legislation.
- 2nd Amendment Right for a Secure Idaho - An armed society is a free society.
- Agriculture and Water Security - Idaho farmers and ranchers feed Idahoans and feed the world. Public policy should only secure Idaho's agriculture and water rights . Idaho lands and water should be managed by Idaho for Idaho, not sold or bartered away to out of state interests.
Developments’ impact on agriculture and water resources. Idaho helps feed the world. It is imperative that legislation, land use planning, and agency rules, make food production easier for the producers, not more expensive and difficult.
