House 31B
Hometown: St. Anthony
Occupation: Bus driver, former legislator
Statement: “We don’t need leaders who have spent 50 years in office, shut away from the day-to-day realities of average citizens. Endurance should never be confused with experience. My platform is based on one of the oldest tricks in the book: common sense. It reflects an understanding shared by Idahoans at every station of life, that the things that serve us best are the things we are able to do for ourselves.”
