Midterms are important, especially the down ballot races for local office. Don’t sit this one out.

On the bottom of the ballot is an important decision that will lower your property taxes by dissolving an unnecessary taxing district. Please vote YES

Voters in District 21, please vote Yes on the West Ada Rec District Dissolution. TL;DR – The District is empty, no longer necessary & a Yes vote lowers your property taxes.

I was approached by a West Ada Rec board member almost 2 years ago and I carried and passed legislation a year ago (HB102) to make it easier to get this dissolution on the ballot. The Board has turned over all their parks and assets to the city of Meridian. Voting Yes doesn’t change anything about the quality or quantity of parks or pools in our area. The Rec District is essentially a ghost entity. If they don’t dissolve, they have to pay lawyers & accountants to file their required paperwork, which means they have to keep charging us property tax to pay for all that. The Board wants to dissolve (in fact they are budgeting $0 this year assuming they will be dissolved) and a ballot measure is the way to do so per Idaho law. Please vote Yes on this measure!

This includes my precinct, 2115. I would welcome an opponent, the more volunteers working together the more successful the Republican Party is. 🙂

If you’re interested in serving as an elected volunteer in the Republican Party, please contact me if you have questions.

Want to get more involved in Republican politics in Idaho? One of the best places to start is right in your own neighborhood.

Today is the last day to file for Republican Precinct Committeeman. Precinct leaders are the foundation of the party. They represent their neighborhood, help organize voters, and play a role in shaping the future of the party at the local level.

Many precincts across the state still have no one running. In many cases, if someone from the neighborhood files, they’re the only name on the ballot.

For young conservatives who want to step up, this is one of the most direct ways to get involved and make an impact locally.

How to file:

1. Go to https://run.voteidaho.gov
2. Click “File for Office”
3. Select “Regular Filing”
4. Verify your voter information
5. Choose “Precinct Committeeman” for District Type
6. Follow the prompts for your precinct

⏰ Filing deadline: TODAY, Friday, March 13 at 5:00 PM

If you file and later decide it isn’t for you, you can withdraw before the withdrawal deadline on March 20.

The future of the Republican Party depends on people willing to step up at the local level.
