Issue Position

While serving in the Idaho Legislature, I galvanized a plan to protect middle-income families from a flat-rate car registration increase to a plan that worked with Idahoan families from all income levels: a sliding scale based on the age of their vehicle. This plan would have saved working families $4.77 million in registration fees. Road congestion and rising gas prices have led to an increased demand for public transportation throughout Idaho. I support local option funding to satisfy growing necessity. I will revisit Idaho's energy plan at the Legislature to finance public transit and use of low-emission and no-emission cars.
