My Platform

I am running for Idaho House Seat 1A because North Idaho deserves strong, conservative, Republican representation. I am a patriotic American; a lifetime Republican who will support the Republican platform, positively impact the future of Idaho, and ensure that every voice is heard. Every two years, Idahoans have the opportunity to reflect on where their elected leaders are taking them, and make course corrections when necessary. I believe that my opponent, Mark Sauter (no relation) is taking us on a path toward liberalism, which is apparent if you search his voting record. In the 2025 Legislative Session, Mark voted with the Democrats more than 83% of the time.

I will uphold the rights laid out in the 1st and 2nd Amendments, which are:

*Freedom of religion
*Freedom of speech
*Freedom of the press
*Freedom to assemble peacefully
*Freedom to petition the Government for a redress of grievances
*The right to keep and bear arms

I believe in strengthening the family:

*By protecting the lives of all Idahoans in every stage of life. I believe that life starts at conception, and that every human being has intrinsic value, and was created by God for a purpose.
*By protecting children from harm and danger in every form. I would never vote to allow inappropriate books in the children’s area of a library. I will stand firm against the transgender agenda, making sure that children receive actual gender affirmation, that the gender they were born as, is PERFECT, and that God did not make a mistake.
*By supporting education in all its’ forms, whether private, public, or home school.
*By supporting the rights of parents to make wise choices pertaining to their children.

The Right to Keep and Bear Arms

As a member of Gun Owners of America, Idaho 2nd Amendment Alliance, and the NRA, I strongly believe that we must hold the line on every attempt that the left uses to infringe on our gun rights. I have a clear understanding of our 2nd Amendment rights, and will stand firmly against any and all attempts to disarm the American people. Our founding fathers gave us the Second Amendment in order that we would be able to defend ourselves against a tyrannical government. I know of no country that has truly thrived after giving up their rights to freely own firearms.

Illegal Immigration

We have the Democratic Obama and Biden administrations to thank for the huge mess they have created with illegal immigration. The illegals have exhausted all the resources that have been unconstitutionally allotted to them. They’ve taken our jobs, our tax dollars and our medical services. Their criminals have filled our jails and prisons to capacity. The crimes they commit are some of the worst in our nation’s history. There is no justification for allowing illegal aliens to stay in our country! They must all go out and come back in lawfully, by the correct procedures.

I’m going to square with you on this. The literal flood of illegal criminals that have entered our country is at levels we have never experienced in our history. There are times when it’s appropriate to help the less fortunate, but it has to come second to upholding law and order in our own state and nation. I will not compromise when it comes to guaranteeing the timely removal of illegal aliens.

Financial Accountability

I am committed to making sure that your freedom is not encroached upon by the government. I believe that a smaller government is better, and that for most things, the general populace is able to self-govern, giving the private sector the ability to provide many services, as opposed to everything being handed out by a government agency.

I am in favor of repealing the Idaho Grocery Tax and will work toward that end. I will also work together with other Conservative Republican legislators to bring real solutions to the table concerning property tax and income tax relief. I am a fiscal conservative who realizes that, rather than shifting the tax burden to another category of taxation, the Legislature will have to cut spending in order to propose eliminating property taxes completely. The government was never intended to be a charity. Rolling back entitlements and welfare programs will be difficult, but not impossible. It will be hard work to return our state to it’s proper role.

Over 40% of Idaho’s yearly budget is funded by the Federal Government. That’s debt that our children and grandchildren are going to be saddled with. To achieve less dependence on Federal money and become a stronger state, our leaders at the State level will need integrity, discipline, and the ability to represent their constituents over and above corporations and pet projects.
