Issues I’m Running On
I am focusing a large portion of my campaign on education. Visiting school districts across the country has allowed me to understand the core values of our teachers and the necessities that our youth need to make Idaho a competitor in education.
Improving
Education
Education is a priority if we are to keep our kids from leaving the area.
Economic Development
We need to think and do things differently if we are to attract quality employers.
Responsible Leadership
As your representative I will make my votes based on your needs, not someone in Boise.

Super job students!! This 4th Grade Class of Mrs. Barton's made the difference! From an idea they presented to city council on water-friendly landscaping, it ballooned into a community wide water-saving pledge and winning a new SUV.

Congratulations students for putting a good idea into action and benefiting the entire community!
