Idaho prides itself on having a citizen legislature. I am one of Idaho’s citizens who is seeking to serve in the legislature and become part of the change that is greatly needed. And I am inspired by the record number of liberty candidates seeking to join the legislature and elsewhere in public office, as the wave of liberty begins to crest…
