My purpose for writing has always been to explain to first my family and many of my friends—especially in the medical community the logic and predicate for my political philosophy. In past columns, I have quoted Paul Ryan as saying, “My Christian Catholic faith informs every aspect of my life” Even though I became disenchanted with […]
The after-action reports and the Monday morning quarterbacking have yet to take place regarding our State’s Covid response. Maybe we are waiting until after the November general elections. Historically in the medical and nursing professions every death and every bad outcome is reviewed at the clinical level giving context to the analysis done at the […]
For patriots and conservatives, the results of the May primary were discouraging and a blow for freedom on a statewide scale. After the two years of lockdowns and restrictions on our state and the tyranny imposed by our Governor, Attorney General and leaders in our legislature we thought the eyes of the electorate would be […]
I’ve now had five days to digest the Idaho primary election results. I must admit that in the statewide races except for Raul Labrador winning the Attorney General’s race, conservatives took a “whipping”. But we have a few things to learn and if we don’t admit to our shortcomings, we will continue to make the […]
When I woke up Wednesday morning after the election, I was dejected for a couple of hours. Except for Raul Labrador winning the Attorney General Primary, conservatives running for statewide office took a shellacking. We lost much influence in the Idaho House, however, I believe Mike Moyle as Speaker will be a big positive for […]

When I moved to Idaho 30 years ago from N.Y.C. I was looking for a place to settle with my family and get away from the high taxes and crooked politicians who were firmly in control of most east coast states including N.Y. and N.J. In 1992 Idaho was still a bastion of conservatism and […]
Four years ago, I began service as a state representative in an environment where too many, even in Idaho, are turning their backs on the conservative values of many Idaho families and buying into liberal ideology and big-government solutions. My experience has been exhilarating, challenging, and sobering. Through it all, one thing is crystal clear: […]
Are you ready for Idaho to go “woke,” be forced to wear masks, get fully vaccinated and become a good global citizen? If not, I encourage you to go vote on Tuesday, May 17th, and bring 10 of your like-minded friends to do the same. Idaho is in a perfect storm and if citizens don’t […]
“Bad politicians are sent to Washington by good people who don’t vote.” ~ Daniel Webster, US House Representative and Senator Idaho will vote on May 17th and our voting history is interesting and instructive over the past decades. Idaho elected Donald Trump for President by 30 points in 2020. Three counties voted for Biden: Latah […]
Last Friday, April 29, I participated in a Meet and Greet organized by the Franklin County Republican Central Committee. I shared the stage with Mr. Jim Guthrie. We were asked the same questions. We took turns to respond with no follow-up opportunities. One of the questions focused on whether or not the legislature may convene […]
I have watched the Idaho Debates this week and in addition to listening to what the candidates have to say, I have listened to the panelists and the way they have framed questions and, on several occasions, inserted themselves into the debate. This happened once to Raul Labrador during the Attorney General Debate, and he […]
