Issues
Accountability and Integrity
I believe we need to take our country in a new direction—a new direction based on the core Idaho values of independence, accountability, and responsibility. Too many Idahoans today have no voice in Washington, and nobody is looking out for their interests. I will give you a voice. I will champion your interests.
Public service has always been an important part of my life as a veteran who served during the Vietnam War, as a staffer to Idaho Senator Frank Church, and as a member of the United States Congress. My philosophy of public service has always been "do right, risk consequences." I will always put doing what I know is right ahead of my political aspirations.
For far too long, our government in Washington has not been accountable—to anybody. Huge budget deficits, lack of oversight, and the failure to solve problems all show that, for far too long, Congress has failed to provide the checks and balances that our sacred Constitution requires.
Idahoans deserve better. We need to unlock the partisan gridlock in Washington and work across party lines for all Idahoans. It’s time to return balance, accountability, and oversight to Washington, D.C.
