Issue Position: Protecting Our Quality of Life

Issue Position

I, like many other graduates, had to leave the state to pursue a career for a while. When I moved back, it was the best choice I have ever made. I chose to move to Boise, and I picked this beautiful place because of the quality of life offered to everyone. Idaho's diverse terrain, jagged mountains, winding rivers, and amazing high deserts are some of the reasons we chose to live here. As a professional guide and advocate for statewide environmental education programs, I believe we must work to conserve our open spaces. Our Legislature wants to auction hunting tags to the highest bidder, decrease air and water quality programs, and ignore major polluters who make money off our land and refuse to clean up afterward. We need a leader who is capable of supporting responsible economic policies while advocating for and protecting our quality of life.

I will work to expand long-term economic investment that provide cities and counties with resources to develop quality outdoor recreation opportunities; preserve Idaho's open space and public lands; partner with stakeholders to reach the best possible wildlife and land management plans; and protect Idaho's clean air and clean water.
