Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

In the nearly three decades since joining Wood River Fire & Rescue as a firefighter, paramedic, and, eventually, captain, I have worked to protect my fellow citizens - even when that has meant putting myself in physical danger - because I believe that there is nothing more important than the health and safety of Idahoans.

On behalf of all District 26, I want to protect:

•

Quality education for our children - let’s lead, not trail, the nation

•

Access to public lands for hunting, fishing, recreation, and tourism

•

Preservation and management of Idaho’s water resources to sustain our agricultural heritage and recreational riches

•

Our standard of living - access to housing and ability to afford that housing with local jobs

•

The freedoms of all Idahoans - including the freedom to make decisions about our bodies, marry who we want to marry, and build the families we choose

When somebody’s house is on fire or they are experiencing a medical emergency - I and my colleagues put aside any differences we might have and solve the problem in front of us. We prioritize the needs of the community we serve because that is what a public servant does.

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?

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Quality education for all our children, so that we lead instead of trailing the nation

Access to public lands for hunting, fishing, recreation, and tourism

Preservation and management of Idaho’s water resources to sustain its agricultural heritage, recreational riches, and daily needs of our citizens

Our standard of living - folks in this region should be able to access housing and afford that housing with local jobs

And - because this is baked into our DNA as Idahoans - I want to protect the freedoms of all Idahoans - including the freedom to make decisions about our own bodies, marry who we want to marry, and build the families we choose.
