Top 3 Issues

Issue 1


Human Trafficking – In 2023 I carried a piece of legislation to strengthen our Human Trafficking Law by defining “Pimping” as well as make our current law more victim focused by not referring to victims of Human Trafficking as “prostitutes”. In 2024, I did a complete, 42 page, re-write of our Human Trafficking Code. We made it consistent throughout code to be more victim focused as well as defining what Labor Trafficking is, the responsibilities of our Attorney General’s Office and other necessary changes to give our Law Enforcement partners the tools they need in order to investigate and charge perpetrators of this heinous crime.

Issue 2


Illegal Immigration -I ran a bill this session that mirrors Texas Senate Bill 4. I had been asking my local law enforcement agency as well as had talks with the Attorney General’s Office about what we could do as a state to step up and do the job the Federal Government isn’t doing. I wasn’t making a lot of headway, but knew there had to be a way forward. Then I came across Texas Senate Bill 4 about two weeks before the close of session. I drafted the legislation and got it through the House. I will work with our Senate counterparts to find ways to move this or similar legislation forward to address this issue.

Issue 3


Harmful Material – I carried legislation in 2023 and 2024 to protect our children from material that Idaho Code 18-1514 deems harmful to minors in our taxpayer funded School and Community Libraries. It took several attempts, but I persevered and together, we have a law on the books to protect our children from this material in our libraries. We then passed a piece of legislation in 2024 to protect minors from harmful cell phone content. I will continue do everything I can to protect our children from harmful materials.
