Idahoans deserve the freedom to live dignified lives in our beautiful communities without the interference of politicians. I will work to ensure that you have the freedom to make decisions for yourself and your family.
Idahoans deserve to make personal decisions for their own families without government interference. Everyone should have affordable access to quality healthcare and the freedom to make their personal decisions, including decisions about reproductive health and birth control.
Healthcare
Our tax dollars should support programs that improve our lives, our communities and our state. State tax money should go to roads, infrastructure, resource management, supporting public education, supporting families and taking care of the most vulnerable in our society. Our representatives in Boise spend far too much money on pet projects and lawsuits protecting extremist legislation. We need a more fair tax system that eliminates the grocery tax, provides property tax relief and ensures that everyone pays a fair share.
Taxes
Public education is the great equalizer. Idaho students deserve to be prepared for their futures through a solid foundation in school. Too many students are dropping out before graduation and too many students are unprepared for post-graduate training and education that will make their lives better. Our crumbling public school buildings show students and teachers that we don’t care. The state has to invest in public school infrastructure and adamantly support public education.
Education
I’ve lived and worked on the Palouse for 24 years and have witnessed the impact of an out-of-touch legislature making decisions that don’t represent our values. The best direction will be to set aside partisanship and work together to solve problems and move Idaho forward.
As a leader, my job is to listen to you—not a party or interest group. Our region has people from different walks of life who each face unique challenges. I believe the diversity of people who live on the Palouse and in the Valley does not hurt us but makes us stronger. I will listen, learn, and advocate for Idahoans' needs.
Seeking input
I have a proven track record of listening to our community’s needs while serving on the Moscow City Council. With each vote, I have balanced all opinions, consulted experts, and actively sought input from those most impacted by the decision. I will continue my record of sensible, informed decision-making.
Bi-partisan work
I know we can build a better Idaho, and we can’t leave anyone behind. Throughout my time serving our community as a nurse, I’ve witnessed the impacts of complicated personal decisions. My experiences have taught me how to be a persistent advocate for those in need. I will stand up for families struggling to find childcare, students searching for a brighter future, people seeking stable housing, teachers who want to improve our schools, and farmers, ranchers, and natural resource professionals who want to manage our resources sustainably.
Concern for Idahoans
As a nurse, the vast majority of my work has been constant and rapid problem-solving—the ability to use available resources to create solutions serves as excellent training for leadership.
Inflation and the housing crisis have led people to live paycheck-to-paycheck, just trying to make ends meet. No family or individual should have to choose between their next meal and paying rent, and I will work to uplift programs that provide working people with essential services. Our economy thrives when local businesses and agricultural production are supported. I will make decisions that offer good job opportunities and support local businesses to bolster our region’s economy.
Economic Opportunities
Idahoans share a love for our forests, rivers, mountains, open spaces, and public lands. I will work to protect access to our natural resources and make decisions focused on sustainable resource management.
Conservation
As a registered nurse, I see the daily need for improved access to medical services and healthcare. Idahoans deserve to live safe and healthy lives, and we need to invest in programs that train and retain doctors, nurses, therapists, and other healthcare professionals. In addition, I will work to reduce the cost of healthcare because a medical problem should not create a financial catastrophe for Idaho families.
Healthcare
Our vulnerable elders often need care that is too expensive, poorly managed, and understaffed. Idaho needs to support the elderly in making the best decisions for care, whether that be in-home care, family-supported care, or residential living.
