Strongly Agree

Taxpayer dollars should not be used to fund abortion providers. People have different beliefs on this issue, and government should not force citizens to financially support something they fundamentally oppose.

Abortion should be rare and limited to serious circumstances, particularly when the life or health of the mother is at significant risk or circumstances of sexual assualt. This is not an issue I take lightly, and it should be approached with caution, compassion, and respect for life.

Agree

I believe human life has value and should be protected. At the same time, there are complex medical situations and human rights that require careful consideration, which is why this issue must be handled with both principle and realism.

Agree

Human embryos represent potential life and should be treated with respect. At the same time, this is a complex area involving medical and ethical considerations that require a very thoughtful and balanced policy.

Agree

I support protecting life, but this is ultimately a federal matter. As Governor, my focus would be on ensuring Idaho law is clear, enforceable, and consistent rather than relying on outdated federal statutes to carry that responsibility.

It means government should not establish or control religion, and religion should not control government. It does not mean removing faith from public life. People should be free to live and express their beliefs without government interference.

Strongly Disagree

It means government should not establish or control religion, and religion should not control government. It does not mean removing faith from public life. People should be free to live and express their beliefs without government interference.

Strongly Agree

The CCP presents real risks across multiple fronts. The United States should protect its infrastructure, technology, and economy while reducing reliance on adversarial supply chains.

Yes. Israel is a key ally in a volatile region. The relationship supports stability, intelligence sharing, and mutual security interests. Strong alliances help deter larger conflicts and protect long-term national interests.

C - Medicaid and Medicare should remain to protect vulnerable populations, but broader expansion of taxpayer-funded healthcare is not sustainable. We should strengthen access, reduce costs, and rely more on private sector solutions rather than expanding government control.

Strongly Disagree

People’s medical information is private. Government should not track individuals in a way that risks privacy or opens the door to misuse. We can assess healthcare costs without compromising personal rights.

Mandating higher wages can hurt small businesses and limit entry-level opportunities. I support policies that grow wages naturally through a stronger economy, skill development, and expanded opportunity, not one-size-fits-all mandates.

Strongly Agree

Free enterprise and private property rights are part of the core foundation of a healthy economy. When people are able to build, invest, and own without excessive interference, it creates opportunity, stability, and long-term growth.

Reduce Medicaid administrative overhead through transparency and audits. Eliminate redundant programs across agencies. Review and remove unnecessary licensing requirements. Improve contract oversight to prevent waste and favoritism. Implement long-term budget discipline to avoid boom-and-bust spending.

Strongly Disagree

Sanctuary policies create uneven enforcement of the law and undermine public trust. We can support people and maintain compassion without ignoring the rule of law or creating conflicting systems of enforcement.

Agree

Education is best handled at the state and local level. Reducing federal control allows communities to build systems that better reflect their needs while maintaining accountability closer to home.

Strongly Agree

Foreign influence in education creates conflicts of interest and potential security risks. Our education system should remain independent and focused on American interests and values.

The goal is to protect the public, hold people accountable, and ensure fair treatment under the law. It should focus on safety, justice, and when possible, giving people the opportunity to correct their path.

Strongly Agree

Protecting children is a fundamental responsibility. As threats evolve online, laws and enforcement should keep pace to ensure their safety.

Strongly Agree

U.S. law should be based on the Constitution. Our legal system must remain consistent and not incorporate external legal frameworks.

I’m a strong supporter of the Second Amendment. Law-abiding citizens should not be restricted from exercising their rights. The focus should be on enforcing existing laws, targeting violent offenders, and improving mental health response, not adding new restrictions on responsible gun owners.

Conservative

I’m fiscally conservative and believe in limited government, personal responsibility, and individual liberty. I also take a practical approach to policy and focus on what actually works for Idaho communities.

No.

I was charged with delivery of marijuana years ago, which was later reduced to a misdemeanor. I took responsibility, completed the requirements, and have built a stable life since. My past does not define me, and I believe cannabis should not be criminalized.

Strongly Agree

Parents should have the primary role in raising their children. Government should support that role, not override it.

Strongly Agree

Children need protection, not irreversible decisions. These are serious, life-altering matters, and minors are not in a position to fully understand the long-term consequences.

Agree

I believe marriage is a sacred, faith-based union between a man and a woman. At the same time, government should step back from defining personal relationships and allow legal domestic partnerships between consenting adults with equal protections.

Neutral

I understand the revenue and economic benefits, but also the social risks. This is something that should be approached carefully with strong oversight rather than broad expansion or outright rejection.

I am a non-denominational Christian. I was raised in the LDS church, but over time I came to value a more personal relationship with God and Christ. My faith is not something I view as a label, but as something lived out through how I treat others, take responsibility for my actions, and continue to grow as a person. It has shaped my belief in accountability, service, and second chances. I don’t believe faith should be forced through government, but I do believe it should be freely lived and respected in our communities.

Strongly Disagree

Election integrity matters. Requiring photo ID is a simple, reasonable step to ensure confidence in the process while still allowing lawful voters to participate.

Strongly Disagree

People should be treated equally under the law. Government policy should not divide people or assign benefits based on race.

Strongly Agree

Fairness and safety matter. Women’s spaces and sports exist for a reason, and they should be protected.

Agree

Human activity does impact the environment, and we’re seeing changes in weather patterns and conditions. That said, solutions should be practical and balanced, not driven by fear or policies that harm our economy or energy stability.

Reliable energy comes from a balanced mix. Hydropower already plays a major role in Idaho and should remain a cornerstone. Nuclear is productive and stable, but comes with waste and safety concerns. I’d like to see more investment in geothermal, whic
