Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I grew up on a 250 acre farm outside Jerome, know the issues facing our farmers and local community, and can offer the working class perspective that our current representatives are lacking. My early career in education, specifically with special needs students, gives me unique insights that are needed in the current state wide debates regarding school funding and standards. And my life as an income tax professional will allow me to make better policy decisions that will actually help the working class, not just corporations and the ultra wealthy.
