Who are you? Tell us about yourself.
I have been a representative in the House for the past 4 years and ran for office because my strict was needing better representation, a voice for the people and someone who could lead and be effective. I have lived in Idaho for over 40 years, I have 5 children who all have attended school in the Middleton School District. I have a science degree from BYU-I and run my own small business in property management. I have always been involved in my community and church in various service-oriented areas. I enjoy my beautiful state and don’t want to see it slip down the same path as so many other states have.
I am very troubled by what I see happening in America and strongly believe that part of the problem is the disconnect that has transpired between the people and government. We have a government by, of and for the people, but if they are not part of it, then it cannot function correctly. I have worked hard to connect the people back in and teaching them how to be involved.
I stand and take the arrows to protect our freedoms and to be a voice for my constituents.
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?
The Senate has been a place where good legislation has gone to die, it is time to change thatI take the arrows to protect and stand for our rights and will continue that over in the Senate.The voice of the people needs to be heard and represented, not ignored. I have been and will continue to be that voice.
What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?
1. Taxes and spending: All taxes, budgets, and spending need to be reigned in, Idahoans are paying too much to the government, and the tax system is very complicated.
2. Health Freedom: We learned quickly how important it is to protect our health freedom. We also found out how easily it can be taken away. We must maintain our freedoms in our health and the health of our loved ones.
3. Education: I have had the opportunity to work with many families throughout the state who are greatly concerned with education. In fact, education (Common Core) is what got me involved in politics. School choice, cost, indoctrination, teaching environment, learning, and parental rights are of great concern.
I have and will continue to work on each of these.
Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?
My mom has always been a excellent example to me about being a strong woman. She was the primary bread winner in our family because my father was ill for most of my life. She worked really hard and taught me how to have a good work ethic, to think outside of the box and how to handle challenges.
What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?
I can still remember sitting in my class watching the Challenger Space Launch and the terrible explosion that happened. I was 10 years old at the time.
What was your very first job? How long did you have it?
I started working at age 6 in my families businesses helping to clean up and get things ready for the next day. My first job outside of my families businesses was a courtesy clerk at my local Albertson's store. I worked there for a couple of years.
