  • Campaign Finance Reform

    Supports

    Supports banning congressional stock trading, ending Citizens United, congressional term limits, and a stronger lobbying cooling-off period.

  • Environment & Sustainability

    Supports

    Supports keeping public lands in public hands, opposing privatization and land transfers, while protecting access for hunting, fishing, hiking, and camping.

    “Public lands belong to the public - Idaho's lands stay in public hands, not sold of to the highest bidder. Oppose privatization and land grabs that would lock Idahoans out and raise costs for access.”

  • Gun Policy & Second Amendment

    Supports

    Supports common-sense gun safety legislation while recognizing the Second Amendment; designated a Moms Demand Action Gun Sense Candidate.

  • Healthcare Access & Affordability

    Supports

    Supports single-payer Medicare for All: every Idahoan gets coverage regardless of job, income, age, or pre-existing condition; end medical debt; keep rural hospitals open.

  • Immigration

    Supports

    Supports a lawful and humane immigration system: due process, keeping families together, a path to citizenship for Dreamers, and enforcement focused on genuine threats.

    “We need a serious immigration system-and we need it to be both lawful and humane. ... Create real legal pathways-including a path to citizenship for Dreamers and stable work visa programs that reflect the reality of year-round industries like dairy and agriculture.”
