Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am proud mother of 2 amazing and active boys, devoted wife, and loving daughter. I am the founder and CEO of a successful non-profit organization, dedicated to giving back to my community. I am a faith-filled citizen politician committed to serving the interests of my constituents, above all else.

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?

• 1. Pro Freedom: Return power to the people. Each person and parent is fully capable to make decisions that are best for them and their family.
• 2. Less Government: Government does not know best. Cut government regulations, cut taxes, combat Federal overreach, support term limits.
• 3. School Choice: Your tax dollars should follow your child, whether it be public, charter, private, pod learning or homeschool.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Reduce taxes: People are better at managing their finances than the government. Families are much more capable of determining what to spend their hard earned money on. Return more tax payer dollars back to the tax payer, this reduces government spending, government programs and boost charitable giving in our communities.

School choice: Parents have a choice in their children's education. Give parents the opportunity to have their tax dollars follow their children to the school of choice whether that is charter, public, private, homeschool or pod learning.

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

Growth: Idaho is growing at a rapid pace. We have a massive shortage of skilled labor and trade workers. To ensure the success of our State and future generations, there needs to be a pipeline from our high school to skilled labor schools and certification programs. This would provide a sound way to help Idahoans and our economy thrive. Government regulations that cause more harm than good should be reevaluated to allow businesses to flourish.
