Issue Position

Energy - I believe the citizens of Idaho own its natural resources. It has been said, "all wealth comes from the ground." The U.S. Forest Service Draft Management plan for the North Idaho Panhandle seeks to lock the people out of federal lands and lock our natural resources in, i.e. timber, minerals.

Jobs - I support laws that encourage economic growth. The U.S. has one of the highest corporate tax rates in the world. This forces industry and related jobs to move overseas. Idaho's taxation and regulation impacts the job market as well. Tax laws should be easy to understand and tax rates as low as possible to encourage economic growth.

Environment - I believe we must be good steward of our environment and natural resources. There is a delicate balance between preserving the environment and extracting natural resources. The balance must be based on sound facts and science as opposed to opinion or an agenda-driven ideology.

Education - I advocate for educational choice - be it public, charter, private or home school, it is a parents' decision.

Gun Rights - I stand on the 2nd Amendment that "...the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."
