I want to keep Idaho Conservative.<\/p>\n<p>As a successful business owner with a formal education in finance and 10 years of experience in the legislature helping to solve statewide problems, I am ready to get to work for the people of Idaho.

Thousands of people have relocated to Idaho because we&#8217;ve kept the Republic, we&#8217;ve kept the conservative foundation, and we&#8217;ve kept our home a place that others recognize as <em>&#8216;the America I grew up in and want to preserve for my children and grandchildren&#8217;<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Here in Idaho, we still embrace the original design of our government\u2014a Constitutional Republic where citizens are governed with a light touch, federal involvement is limited, and our God-given unalienable rights are sacrosanct.<\/p>\n<p>If we stand firm, protect the values we hold dear, and usher in a future built on a strong foundation, we will be able to work together and overcome any of the obstacles we face, in a reasoned and principled manner.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you love Idaho and you are home, join me!
