Fair Chance Employment

Over the past few weeks, I testified in favor of the Fair Chance Employment bill, which would remove the box people with felony records have to check on job applications.

I've worked with people with all kinds of records for my entire career - people with incarceration, eviction, and immigration records which hold them back from getting to the next step in life. I encourage you to support this bill and the ability of our neighbors to have a second chance.

Thank you Cherie Buckner-Webb and the ACLU of Idaho for all of their incredible work on this bill!

I got to talk to Madeline White of Channel 6 about some of my thoughts after testifying - notice that I can’t contain my excitement about this important legislation!
