Issue Position

Idaho's middle class has been asked to shoulder too much: a higher cost of living, skyrocketing tuition, and climbing health care costs. Not to mention a disproportionate tax burden in a system that rewards the wealthy and politically well connected with tax breaks while passing those costs on to the middle class. Idahoans understand that success requires hard work and sacrifice, but they need more opportunities and a level playing field. The policies of Idaho's current leaders have created an economy that makes us first in the nation for minimum wage jobs, leaving too many Idaho workers short changed.
