“My fondest memories live in the backcountry of Idaho’s wildest places. As a kid, my dad instilled in us a love for the outdoors. Dad likes to say that there is no place like Idaho, where you can drive an hour in any direction from Boise and get to totally different types of geology. I still love exploring and recreating in our beautiful Gem State and take seriously our responsibility to ensure future generations get the same chance.”

“Freedom and independence are essential to a functioning state. What has transpired for the past two years should never have been endured by free people. I will be a voice for those that believe that their bodies are their own. For people that choose to engage in whatever actions or behaviors they desire with respect to their own person.”
(Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey) “I will fight wasteful spending and excessive taxation. Idaho families have experienced massive tax increases in the past few years. If we curb spending we can certainly cut taxes.”
