The biggest reasons I love Idaho are our incredible recreation opportunities, our access to water and our agricultural and food processing industries.
But most of all, I love our communities.

As a 3rd generation farmer with more than 20 years of experience as a Jerome Planning and Zoning Commissioner, I’m a firm believer in preserving the Idaho we love with integrity while setting this state up for a solid future. I’m passionate about local control because I believe communities know their needs best – especially when it comes to protecting their water, agricultural land, and education needs. I’m also a believer in working together as a state to move Idaho forward while still preserving the things we love most.

As a College of Southern Idaho Board Member, I see the value of promoting and creating more opportunities for our youth to access the incredible education and workforce development programs, and to support our schools to foster curiosity and innovation in our future leaders. Idaho needs leaders with a common sense approach to challenging issues, a commitment to integrity, and most of all, leaders who respect their constituents, their fellow legislators, and the future generations who will inherit this great state from us.
