The federal government controls 63% of Idaho’s natural resources. This results in the problems with accessing our lands by outdoor groups, eliminating high-wage job opportunities in our rural communities, and dangers from extreme wildfires due to the federal government’s inability to afford good land management.
Healthcare
Healthcare should be affordable, accessible, and high-quality. Government mandates, inadequate cost containment, high drug prices, and lack of price transparency are increasing premiums and deductibles that make insurance unaffordable.
Border Security & Immigration
My 24 years in the technology industry put me in 47 countries around the world and in all 50 states. One thing I learned is that countries protect their borders. In the U.S., border security is one of the few clear responsibilities of Congress.
Debt and Deficits
Our national debt exceeds $20 trillion -- more than $60,000 for every man, woman, and child in the United States. To pay off this debt, we would have to stop every federal government operation, paycheck, and any other spending for a full year.
Abortion
I am strongly and consistently pro-life -- both at the beginning and at the end of life. I believe life begins at conception, and that every unborn child has the inherent right to life.
