I’m running for Idaho State Senator of Distirct 12, because I believe Idaho deserves a representative who listens—someone who speaks with the people, not at them. Like you, I care about the day-to-day realities we all face, because I live them too.
We live in Idaho because we value the way of life and the independent spirt that sets us apart from other States. We want to feel safe in our neighborhoods, to see our community grow responsibly, and to trust that government is working for us—not for outside interests.
These values are at the heart of my campaign. But here’s what sets me apart:
I’m not taking donations.
I’m not seeking endorsements.
I have no ties to special interests—and I don’t want any.
The only thing I’m asking for is your vote.
I believe that if we truly want to preserve Idaho's character, we need leaders who are grounded in the community—not in campaign contributions or political favors. Running this way might make it harder to spread the word, but I believe it's the right way to serve.
If elected, I’ll be accountable only to the people. That’s a promise.
This campaign is built on honesty, common sense, and a commitment to put people before politics. If that’s the kind of leadership you want for Idaho, I’d be honored to earn your vote.
