“Cutting $20 million dollars from the Boise School District has negatively impacted our children. Local levies have been necessary due to the lack of funding by the State Legislature. The Luna Laws have the potential to be the Enron of Education in our state. Our tax dollars will be sent to out-of-state companies who only care about profit while teachers will be exchanged for computers.”
(Ballotpedia campaign themes) “The imbalance in our legislature has created an environment where the majority party has routinely ignored ethical lapses on the part of public officials. I will be a legislator worthy of your trust.”
(Ballotpedia campaign themes) “A slash and burn policy is not going to grow our economy or create new jobs. These are serious times, and they require creative solutions and a common sense approach.”
