I grew up in Nampa, graduated with a degree in Economics from the University of Idaho, where I met my husband, and moved to the Hammett valley where we have lived and farmed for over 20 years. As a conservative Republican, I have been involved with the party since I was a teenager in Canyon County.  Over the years, I have served the Idaho Republican Party as Precinct Committee Person, State Committee Woman, and Chairman of the Elmore County Central Commitee and currently serve as the House Majority Caucus Chair.
