I am a lawyer, a mediator, and a problem-solver. I graduated from one of the nation’s top law schools, and when I was sworn in as an attorney, I took an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States. That oath matters to me.For more than twenty years, I have worked with businesses, civic leaders, nonprofits, schools, and communities navigating conflict, complexity, and high-stakes decisions. My work has always centered on fairness, accountability, and helping people find solutions when division threatens to pull them apart.

My family chose Idaho — and Idaho is where we’ve built our life. Our children were raised here. This is our home.In our family, we talk about integrity, hard work, kindness, and curiosity over judgment. We believe in “our house, our rules.” And in a representative democracy, the House of Representatives exists for the same reason — to make the laws that protect the people it serves.

Powerful interests are getting richer and gaining more influence every day — while working families struggle with housing, healthcare, childcare, groceries, and stagnant wages. That isn’t accidental. It’s the result of policy choices.Congress has the power to fix this — but too many in Congress won’t do their jobs. Instead, we get finger-pointing, culture wars, and media spectacle while the cost of living rises and public trust collapses.Farmers don’t rely on theory. They test what works. Water only half your crops and the rest wither. The same is true of an economy. When we consistently funnel benefits to the top and neglect the rest, we weaken the entire system.This is not about class warfare. It’s about fairness. You should be able to work hard, buy a home, raise your children, afford your prescriptions, and enjoy the fruits of your labor. That is not radical. That is the American promise.I always tell my children: if you don’t like the way something is, you can accept it or you can do something about it.I am choosing to do something about it.

I’m running to fight for something — for Idaho, for fairness, for a government that remembers who it serves.Politics should not feel like a football game where we pick a team and demonize the other side. We don’t have to think the same, worship the same, or vote the same to share core values: honesty, hard work, fairness, faith, family, and community.Idahoans are tough, smart, and capable. We don’t need chaos. We need leadership that supports us and gets out of the way.Democracy is fragile. Lincoln warned us. History proves it. It survives only when citizens demand accountability and leaders remember who they serve.I will protect and serve the people of Idaho. I will represent your voices, values, and priorities. I will do my job.And when government does its job well, you are free to do yours.

Idaho values independence. Hard work. Faith. Personal responsibility. Respect for your neighbors. Leaving people alone to live their lives.Those are my values too.I love this country. I believe in God. And I believe loving your neighbor is not weakness — it is strength.I believe in fairness, human dignity, and government that works for everyone. My allegiance is not to party leadership, mega donors, or political theater, it is to the people of Idaho.
