“As a lifelong Idahoan, business owner of Idaho Candy Company and current school board member, I have seen many changes occur within our state over the years. There have been changes for good, but we are also seeing an increase in divisiveness and an atmosphere of disrespect that I’ve not seen before.

Unfortunately, school board service has taken on new responsibilities.  I have been yelled at, threatened, and defamed. This is not the Idaho that I have known, not the atmosphere of common respect with goals for the greater good that was taught when I grew up here.

I signed on to Idaho Leaders United for the same reason that I serve on my local school board. I want the very best for our community. Together, we can create the best Idaho for our children’s future and still honor the Idaho that my mom and dad worked so hard to build.”
