Drug Policy Make marijuana legally available, but tax it heavily. Infrastructure / Transportation Digital infrastructure so rural and small-town Idaho can compete, learn, and do business. Environment / Energy Water solutions, both novel and tested to ensure sustainable water resources. Criminal Justice / Public Safety Help reduce the prison population by focusing enforcement where it belongs. Taxes / Budget End the flat tax and replace it with a system that’s fairer in terms of who pays what. Idaho shouldn’t balance the budget on the backs of the middle class and the working poor. Infrastructure / Transportation Infrastructure that keeps Idaho moving: Roads and bridges Critical maintenance and upgrades. Healthcare Rural healthcare that’s accessible and reliable—because no Idahoan should have to drive hours for basic care. Housing Attainable housing by increasing supply responsibly: Cut red tape that blocks homes from being built. Recognize the real issues driving prices up and address them head-on. Taxes / Budget Energy usage tax relief to lower utility-related costs that hit working households the hardest. Taxes / Budget Grocery tax relief so families keep more of what they earn when they buy essentials. Education Public schools that work so every child, in every ZIP code, has a real shot. Taxes / Budget Use “triggers” for tax changes so Idaho only cuts taxes when we can actually afford it—protecting schools, healthcare, and public safety from boom-and-bust budgeting.
