I promise to bring accountability and transparency to the State of Idaho. I promise to fight for fiscal responsibility in order to increase effectiveness and efficiency, while simultaneously reducing government spending.Constitution and 2nd Amendment I am a proud supporter of our Constitution and your 2nd amendment rights. I am a proud gun owner, and was raised around guns, and I’m an avid hunter in Idaho’s beautiful backcountry. As issues continue to rise internationally and in our own country, I will adamantly defend our fundamental constitutional right to keep and bear arms.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Having grown up in Idaho, I realize the challenges that Idaho’s growth has had on our State and our infrastructure. I see the pain that our cities, counties and districts are experiencing in our struggle to manage this substantial growth. As Chairman of the Eagle Fire District, I have been successful in implementing Impact Fees so that new growth covers its own cost. I believe in managing this exponential growth in a way that pays for itself. As your Representative, I will work to bring this mindset to the State.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

My first job was bucking haybales and building fences for local farmers. I was 14 years old and did this every summer until I graduated highschool.

Do you believe that it’s beneficial for state legislators to have previous experience in government or politics?

Of course I do. One leads best from experience.

Are you interested in running for a different political office (for example, the U.S. Congress or governor) in the future?

As of now I have no other aspirations to go further in politics. But who knows what the future may hold!
