The 'Dan Foreman for Idaho Senate 2016' page supports my Republican candidacy for the District Five Idaho Senate seat. I will bring over 41 years of uniformed public service to the office, including 30 years of military officer leadership and management experience. I have 11 years of service to our community as a state certified police officer with the Moscow Police Department from which
I retired as a Corporal in 2013. I still serve as a Level One Reserve Officer with the department, volunteering my services without pay to help protect our great community. I have been very successful as a law enforcement officer in Moscow. I have a reputation of fairness, an ability to help solve people-problems within the law and a developed knowledge of how to sensibly and compassionately apply the enforcement of our laws to the every-day issues citizens and officers face. I served for 30 years as an officer in the United States Air Force, retiring as a full Colonel. I functioned as a Master Instructor/Evaluator Navigator on C-130 and KC-135 aircraft, logging over 5,000 flying hours - including combat hours in the Middle East conflicts. My final position was Vice Commander of the 700 - member 168th Air Refueling Wing in Alaska. I learned much about organizational budgeting (millions of dollars per year,) human resources management issues, state and federal law, working with the media and coordinating with federal, state and local high ranking political figures. I will bring leadership and executive management ability to the District 5 Senate position. I have the talents earned over four decades of public service necessary to STAND UP FOR IDAHO in today's challenging environment of changing economic, social, political and ideological issues. I promise you honesty, professionalism and complete openness in all aspects of my administration. And I establish the following goals for my senate office: I will...
1. Support and defend the Constitution of the United States and the State of Idaho.
2. Protect the States Rights of Idaho
3. Promote a more effective and responsible use of tax dollars - every penny will work for you
