My Philosophy
I believe in the constitutional principles of limited federal government, free enterprise, private property and individual liberty and responsibility. I will defend these principles on behalf of the citizens of the state of Idaho, the West and the Nation.
My Mission
Consistent with my conservative philosophy, I will fight to preserve the quality of life that is uniquely Idaho. I will defend the sovereignty and security of the nation. I will provide leadership and effective service to the citizens of Idaho, protect and promote the interests of our state at the national level, be a leader in the areas of natural resources, fiscal restraint, agriculture, energy, aging, and states' rights, and help shape and advance the Republican Party and conservative ideals and issues.
