I was born and raised in Nampa, Idaho and attended both NNC (now NNU) as well as Boise State University, graduating with a degree in Health and a minor in Biology. My husband and I raised all five of our kids on a small dairy farm in Caldwell. The ability to work together as a family was invaluable and created lifetime memories for all of us. Dale and I, as well as each one of our children, understand the value of hard work, spending less than you make, treating others with respect and the value of integrity.
With a love for learning and a desire to serve, I ran for and won the Primary in 2018. I was sworn in for my first term of office in January 2019. I am a leader who understands that freedom is not free and that principles come at a price. I have spent the last five years standing up for the taxpayer and against poor policy and business practices. Knowing this would be a challenging but rewarding position, I enrolled in a certification program for Conflict Management and Negotiation at Boise State. We The People need good leaders who stand strong in the storm and are motivated by good government. I have grown personally, professionally and spiritually while serving in this capacity. I aspire to make a positive difference that leaves a legacy of thoughtful planning, good policy and servant leadership that will carry the County, and our Country well into the future.
