As a proud Idahoan, mother, grandmother, gun owner, small business owner and many other things, I was blessed to raise my children on a small family farm. It was there that they learned the importance of putting in a hard day’s work, and of earning your way forward.

As an Idahoan, I know how critical it is that we take care of our state.

As a mother and a grandmother, I know how precious life is from conception to natural death. God created our children perfectly in His image.

As a former school board member, I understand how frustrating it is to have your local authority usurped by a state or federal mandate that is unfunded and often unnecessary.

I served in the Idaho House of Representatives, and in the Idaho Senate, retiring to work for the Idaho Second Amendment Alliance, protecting one of our most basic freedoms.

As a small business owner and farmer, I understand the challenges of being a small business owner.

Nothing is more important to preserving our state and Nation than protecting our first freedoms, that God has bestowed upon us.
