Biography and Background
As a cattle rancher and Speaker of the Idaho House, I have a proven conservative record of defending Idaho values. I’m a fourth generation rancher and innovative small business owner whose family has been living and working in the Oakley area since the 1870s. Both as a rancher and as Speaker of the most conservative legislature in the country, I have taken on the federal government to protect our land and water rights. I’ve successfully negotiated and settled long-standing water disputes that have plagued Idaho for decades, including the Snake River Adjudication. I’m A+ rated by the NRA, have a 100% pro-life voting record with Idaho Chooses Life, and have been selected as the Legislator of the Year by the Fraternal Order of Police. My wife, Sarah, and I are proud parents and grandparents to four children and 14 grandchildren.
