22 Days
We're just 22 days out from Election Day! As I have all year, I've been spending lots of time knocking doors in this beautiful fall weather.
District 16 residents are concerned about kitchen-table issues: the rising cost of housing and property taxes, our public education system, infrastructure, and the loss of reproductive rights. They also continue to be concerned by the lack of balance in our Legislature.
I’m not running for this position to grandstand on divisive, distracting cultural issues. I’m running to solve real problems that our state is facing, and I'm ready to roll up my sleeves and work across the aisle to advance policies that truly benefit Idaho's working families.
As I seek to secure this D16 State Senate seat, I'd appreciate any support you can give to push me across the line. Your donation helps pay for yard signs, mailers, digital ads and text messages, and more leading up to Election Day.
We'll be going out door knocking every Sunday afternoon and Monday evening through Election Day on Nov 8. Knocking doors is fun!
Whether you're a door knocking pro or heading out for the very first time, I'd love for you to join me!
The Affordable Housing Shortage
Last week I was on KTVB talking about the great need for affordable housing in Idaho.
Housing development has struggled to keep up with demand spurred by our explosive growth. There is now a shortage of at least 24,000 affordable units in Idaho. I go to work every day at Jesse Tree and am running for office because we need proactive solutions to keep people housed.
Without the involvement of all sectors and proactive planning, Idaho will surely become like many other states that have failed to manage the affordability crisis before it becomes a homeless crisis.
