Dear Neighbor and Voter,

     I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for rallying behind me during Election '08. Without the unwavering support of those who voted, volunteered, and fiercely believed in me and my campaign, this success would not have been possible. Our hugely rewarding campaign led us to a landslide victory of getting nearly 65% of the vote, bringing me into another term as your representative in the House Legislature. 

The 2009 legislative session has finally ended! This session was the 2nd longest session ever in Idaho history, noted particulary because of the challenges of the downturn in the economy and the philosophical fight between House leadership and the Governor's office!  

 Now with the session finally officially over, let's move into the real work! Look for the 2009 Legislative Report, soon to be posted on this site, join me as we talk to our neighbors and move into the legislative and public policy work we know is crucial for the quality of life in the Idaho we love.  Keep reading for the issues that we had discussed that are important to you. Please use the contact information provided at the bottom of this message to remind me what issues you wish to be sure to receive action alerts.

What issues are important to YOU? When the 2009 Legislative Report is released, I invite you to take the survey. Do you want to contact me about a possible new issue, or your ideas on a current one? Remember, I am YOUR representative. Again, you can find my contact information at the bottom, or click HERE. 

 

• I have lived in Boise since 1986 and I am a fourth generation American. My father was a veteran of the US army. I have dedicated my life to the health and wellbeing of families, veterans and seniors in my community.

• As a licensed pharmacist and an adjunct professor at BSU, I have hands-on experience with the challenges we face in health care and education.

• Rising health care costs and the growing number of medically uninsured are critical issues which we must work across party lines to solve.

• As your legislator, I will work to increase access to preventative care as a more cost efficient and effective approach to health care.

• I will work to lower class sizes in public schools and keep textbooks and facilities up-to-date.

• I encourage you to feel free to call me with any questions or ideas you have, by phone or by e-mail.
