Campaign site

“As a multi-generation Idaho rancher, Doug Pickett knows the value of preserving our Idaho values for future generations.” (Douglas T Pickett campaign website)
“For over 140 years his family has worked the land his great-grandfather, Moroni Pickett, settled back in 1882. Pickett was born in Twin Falls and graduated from Oakley High School. He served a church mission in Germany shortly after the fall of the Berlin wall, witnessing first hand the plight of those trapped under repressive government regimes. This experience instilled within him a desire to preserve the freedoms that make our community a great place to live, work and raise a family.” (Douglas T Pickett campaign website)
“Doug knows that water is critical to our Ag-based economy. As a farmer and rancher, he understands the complexities of water issues and he will work with legislators across the state to protect our farmer’s access to water for their crops.” (Douglas T Pickett campaign website)
