Campaign websiteFowler's campaign website stated the following:My Idaho First AgendaThis is what I’m fighting for — a stronger, more self-reliant Idaho that puts our families and communities first.Strong Public Schools That Work for Idaho Families Teachers paid $60,000+ with real bonuses for results. Kids master reading, writing, math, and science starting in kindergarten so they truly understand history, excel in science, and are prepared for life long careers and life. Get rid of homework overload. Incorporate daily movement breaks and structured recess keep them focused and healthy. Mandatory PE in middle and high school. Peer mentorship so older students protect and encourage younger ones. Focus on fundamentals — not ideology. Parents lead. Schools teach.Reliable Wages & Self-Reliance for Working Idahoans Phase in a full $7.25 base wage for tipped workers so paychecks are dependable, not just tips. Adult education and trade training (CDL, welding, ag, manufacturing) free or low-cost if you’re working or training. No free rides — support is earned. Business partnerships make college affordable without debt.Housing You Can Actually Afford Stop large corporations from buying up existing single-family homes. Cap small landlords so they stay local. Big tax credits and fast-track permitting for apartments and townhomes to increase supply and bring prices down. First-time buyer credits, renter relief, and property tax protection for homeowners.Safe Communities & Real Law Enforcement Full cooperation with federal immigration enforcement — no sanctuary policies. Strict vetting and earned pathways for non-criminals who want to contribute. Prison reform with education, trades, and work release to cut recidivism. Tough sentencing for repeat violent offenders to protect victims and families.Limited Government That Serves You by creating an Idaho DOGE to cut waste, consolidate bureaucracy, and redirect savings to working Idahoans. Create an Idaho Voice digital platform so every registered voter can directly weigh in on major issues — taxes, education, housing, spending — giving power back to the people.An Economy Built for Idahoans Focus on agriculture, trades, manufacturing, logistics, and energy. Industry partnerships to build training facilities and sponsor college programs. Western Talent Bridge to open jobs across neighboring states — but Idaho is home.What You Can Expect From MeI will listen to Idahoans in every county and deliver practical solutions.I will not make wild promises I can’t keep — only commitments I will fight for every day.I will put Idaho families first — no excuses, no special interests, no bureaucracy.I will lead by example so Idaho shows America how to restore its promise.Keep Idaho Great — Restore America's Promise— Daniel Fowler's campaign website (April 20, 2026)Note: This text is quoted verbatim from the original source.
