“I spent the first three months of this year reading the 700+ bills introduced into legislation this session, writing my legislators, and being ignored. I am passionate about reforming public policy. Current policy doesn't focus on the issues and goals that really matter in District 1 and in Idaho.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey)
“I'm passionate about restoring the power of government to the citizens of North Idaho. We have handed over the governing power of our state to the Idaho Freedom Foundation which is very profitable, national "non-profits" funded through dark money.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey)
“By building relationships with people who see things differently, we learn. By getting to know each other, we find common ground. By finding common ground, we create better solutions that work for more people.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey)
