“I was born and raised in Idaho, and District 28 is home to me and my family in the fullest sense of that word. I have deep personal connections all across Bannock, Power, and Franklin counties. I grew up camping, fishing and exploring our waterways, mountain and plains.”
(Mandy Peace campaign website) “My daily work, spans across all of Southeast Idaho, not only in the cities, but in our rural areas and spaces that are often overlooked. Working and learning from all the hardworking people in our communities has ignited a fire within me, and I carry that passion with me everyday, in all that I do.”
(Mandy Peace campaign website) “I know these small towns and rural stretches of this district personally, not from a map, or pictures online, but from a lifetime of living and serving here.”
