“I served in the United States Marine Corps as an Infantryman from 1977 - 1981. After that I joined the family roofing business from 1981 - 2021. During that time I earned a BA in Communication with an emphasis on Journalism in 2001. From 1992 - 1997 I published a newsprint periodical called Boise Times. I ran for the Idaho legislature in 2024 and am running for the same seat in 2026.”
(Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey) “I believe the root cause of corruption in government is the amount of money involved in campaign financing. The GOP majority is in thrall to big money donors who are actively pushing an agenda that does harm by advocating against public education, against government funding for health care, and against living wages for the people just trying to survive the day to day. I would love to introduce campaign finance reform to the Idaho election process.”
