Having spent the past 38 as a farmer and rancher, I am no stranger to Idaho. This is where my wife, Sherri, and raised four wonderful children. While buying my farm at 19, I spent four years as a student at BYU Provo graduating with a BS Degree in Economics. My time at BYU, starting several successful businesses – a septic tank installation business, a Trucking Company, and running a small gravel pit – serving 8 years on my local schoolboard, and spending 6 years on the State Farm Bureau board provides the perfect foundation for serving as your Idaho House Representative.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

Idaho is facing explosive growth. This growth and the strain it put on Idaho's water, county infrastructure, and ultimately citizen's pocketbooks are the biggest issue in the upcoming election. It will only become more drastic as we try to balance the growth with the rural values that we wish to keep; however, I am sure that Idahoans can rise to this challenge and find a solution that is equitable and satisfactory to all concerned. This growth will compound the challenges we face with our limited water supply and how to use it. With this growth comes opportunities, we just need to be wise enough to take these opportunities using them to benefit Idaho and face the new challenges that will come.I am running for office so that my grandchildren can enjoy the same opportunities that I have been able to when I was growing up in Idaho. In order to do this, we have to maintain Idaho values that has made this state great. This can be achieved by protecting personal property rights and ensuring that we properly fund education. Our children are our most precious resource, and we need to be creative in how we approach educating them. Idaho schools need to provide more technical career opportunities, dual credit classes, and job readiness options. This will better prepare Idaho's future leaders for the fast-changing world that we live in today.Idaho has historically done well in trying times because, as a state, we are financially responsible and balance the budget. This policy contributes to Idaho’s rapid growth and is necessary to protect our state’s booming economy. I will vigorously defend this responsibility and ensure the efficient use of the hard-earned tax dollars you entrust in Idaho.
