2024 Republican Primary Magic Valley Candidate Series
Approximate reading time: 3 minutes
WHAT PROMPTED YOU TO RUN FOR OFFICE?
The reason I am running for the Idaho legislature is my concern for Idaho’s children, Idaho’s water, and Idahoans’ hard-earned money. The people, the citizens of Idaho, are not being represented by the legislature. The citizens are not being heard. I am a patriot that is willing to get in the fight.
Debbie and I have five children and six grandchildren. We don’t want them to be left in the current political chaos. We need a godly environment and legislature. We need foundational biblical principles that allow all citizens their God-given rights to have a better, more fruitful life.
WHAT SETS YOU APART FROM YOUR OPPONENT?
I would never sue my mother for control of the family dairy. By his own admission, he is adamant about keeping God out of government. He is a spending liberal. He’s in the top seven spenders in the state of Idaho. The bills that I see him voting for are predominantly IACI (Idaho Association of Commerce & Industry) lobbyist bills, and they’re not good for the people of the state of Idaho.
I will be the people’s representative, not IACI’s representative. I will not be beholden to the governor. I will not be beholden to the leadership of the House. I will not to be beholden to the lobbyists. I am committed to being the people’s representative. I am committed to turning the government back to the people of Idaho.
WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR MAIN GOALS?
My biggest concern is children. Are they physically, emotionally, and spiritually safe in our government schools? I think that’s a huge question today. There is $71 million dollars of illegal spending in Health & Welfare. Some of that money is being purposefully spent to do gender bending and teaching immoral acts and actions.
Second to my concern for the children of Idaho, is my concern for the water of Idaho. Farmers, ranchers, and acreage owners need to understand that our RINO legislators are ready to put smart meters on every well. To quote a current house representative, “We need to meter wells so that when the owner has used their allotment, we can turn off the flow.”
Thirdly, Idahoans are being taxed to death. The RINO Republicans — Brad Little’s army — is growing government. How are they doing this? They have doubled spending in less than five years. We must rein in spending. Forty-three percent of Idaho’s budget comes from federal dollars. We must get off the federal government dole.
WHY SHOULD PEOPLE VOTE FOR YOU?
I will be super protective of Idaho’s children, Idaho’s water rights and Idahoans’ hard- earned money. I would ask all voters to look at how District 26 senator and representatives voted in the 2023 session. I would ask all voters to carefully watch how District 26 senator and representatives are voting in the current session. They vote against the safety of our children. They vote against the protection of Idaho water rights. And they vote in favor of spending Idahoans’ hard-earned income.
