Strong leadership means listening to the people of Idaho and working to preserve the principles that have long guided our state: limited government, fiscal responsibility, support for working families, and respect for our communities and natural resources. Thoughtful policy decisions today will shape the opportunities available tomorrow, and Idaho deserves leadership that prioritizes stability, accountability, and responsible growth while keeping the needs of Idaho families at the center of every decision.

Education

Education is an investment in the future of Idaho. Idaho parents should have choices in how their children are educated, but public schools must remain a priority.

Supporting schools, universities, and educators helps prepare Idaho’s students to become educated and trained members of the Idaho workforce. Programs such as Idaho Launch have demonstrated success in helping young Idahoans gain training and employment opportunities and should be prioritized and protected.

Small Business and Economic Growth

Idaho values small businesses and the role they play in our communities.

Limiting unnecessary government overreach and utilizing zero-based regulatory approaches helps businesses operate more efficiently, reduce costs, and promote economic growth.

Agriculture and Water

Agriculture is a major contributor to Idaho’s economy. Protecting water resources and aquifers is critical to ensuring Idaho’s agricultural industry remains strong for future generations.

Fiscal Responsibility

Financial stability has always been a priority for Idaho.

By following fiscally responsible principles, Idaho can maintain appropriate tax levels while ensuring the state is prepared to address future financial challenges.

Responsible tax policy protects taxpayers while ensuring the state can continue providing essential services.

Public Safety

Public safety is essential to strong Idaho communities.

Law enforcement officers, firefighters, and EMS personnel must be supported by strong community resources. Crisis response teams, behavioral health services, court services, home-based services, and medical services help ensure that first responders have the tools they need to keep communities safe.

Working together, these resources can help prevent crime and support individuals working toward becoming independent and productive members of society.

Infrastructure and Responsible Growth

Idaho continues to grow, and the state must invest in roads, infrastructure, water systems, and essential networks to support that growth.

Responsible planning can prevent these costs from becoming a burden on property taxpayers.

Affordability and Healthcare

Affordability remains an important issue for Idaho families.

Healthcare costs continue to rise, creating challenges for families and vulnerable populations. Idaho must continue identifying reasonable solutions that ensure people can access the care they need while maintaining financial stability.

As Idaho’s retirement population grows, policies should continue supporting healthcare access and appropriate tax benefits for seniors.

Public Lands

Idaho’s public lands must remain in public hands.

Public lands provide opportunities for hunting, fishing, hiking, camping, boating, skiing, and other outdoor recreation while also protecting important wildlife habitats.

Protecting public lands ensures that future generations can continue enjoying Idaho’s natural resources.
