Lower Taxes

Property taxes, particularly for seniors and those on fixed incomes, must be reduced. While the recent increase in the homeowner’s exemption was a positive step, it has not gone far enough to provide meaningful relief for Idaho families living on fixed or limited incomes.

Additionally, the state sales tax on groceries should be fully repealed. Some cities in Idaho already add a 1% local option tax, pushing the combined sales tax rate above 7% in some communities. At a time when the cost of living is at record highs, this tax burden on essential food purchases is simply too heavy for working families and retirees in District 8.

Reduced Spending

I am a conservative through and through, which is why I strongly support fiscally responsible government. In just six years, Idaho’s state budget has ballooned from roughly $6 billion to more than $14 billion. Too often, the Legislature has approved unnecessary spending and growing reliance on federal handouts — an approach I firmly oppose.

As your representative, I will fight to reduce spending, cut burdensome regulations and bureaucracy, and return Idaho to the principled, fiscally disciplined path that made our state strong. I am committed to working with fellow legislators to rein in out-of-control spending and deliver real accountability to the taxpayers of District 8.

Strong Borders and Lawful Immigration

I am a principled conservative who stands firmly for liberty, freedom, and constitutional government.

Polls consistently show that more than 80% of Idahoans rank illegal immigration as their top concern. I will continue fighting for strong enforcement of our laws and the protection of our borders.

With a proven record of honest conservatism, I remain committed to the Idaho Constitution, the U.S. Constitution, and the Republican platform.

Balanced Representation

Legislative District 8 is composed of four diverse counties: Valley, Boise, Custer, and Elmore.

Prior to my election in 2024, all three elected officials — both state representatives and the state senator — resided in Elmore County. This created an unbalanced representation that did not fully reflect the economic realities or the distinct cultural character of Valley, Boise, and Custer counties.
