Issue Position: Support High- Quality Education

Issue Position

Some of the most fulfilling work I've ever done is getting involved to improve schools in our area.

I was directly involved in the sale of property owned by my family so that our area's third high school, Century High School, could be built. Because quality education has always been a strong value for me growing up in Pocatello, my family sold that property at a 30% discount and donated the difference in order to build a quality high school in our community.

Previously, I also worked diligently to garner funding for the construction of Shoshone-Bannock Jr. /Sr. High School in Fort Hall. It became a model of success for Indian country.

Our community has incredible schools and an outstanding university. I will work hard to ensure that our educational institutions have the resources they need to continue to improve the high quality education that is critical to grow our local and state economy.
