In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
““The consolidation of power, public or private, is a threat to every Idahoan and every American citizen.””
“In its 250th year our beautiful nation finds itself in a crisis of leadership. Careerist, egotistical, corporate and foreign owned politicians have embedded themselves into all levels of our government. Our country needs regular and moral people standing up for working people, the people that make Idaho great. I am that person”
“Farmer suicides are at record highs all across this nation. That's because the profession and way of life that built this country and this state has been under constant attack by monopolistic forces for the last half a century.”
“Every Idaho family should be able to live a normal, fulfilled and decent life on one household income. This was once a reality in America. The mechanic or hard-working waitress was able to own a home and support a family on that income alone. For decades we have allowed the greed of the few to ruin the livelihoods of the many.”
“The Single biggest issue facing Idaho right now is the growth of the surveillance state, in both the public and private realms. ALRP as well as facial recognition cameras are a blatant violation of our fourth amendment rights. I would address this through federal legislation banning surveillance infrastructure from all publicly owned right of way.”
