A good lawyer never lets politics corrupt their legal work. Neither should the Attorney General. State agencies, the Land Board, and the people of Idaho all depend on the Attorney General’s office to provide sound legal advice based on the rule of law, to hire the best people based on ethics and skill, and put the best interests of Idahoans ahead of narrow and divisive ideologies.

It’s essential for the Attorney General to provide prompt, accurate, and authoritative legal opinions to legislators and state officials as well as to highlight legal weaknesses that would invite costly court challenges. I will consistently follow and defend the law as written, regardless of political pressure.

Federal lands in Idaho are the heritage of our people. I will strongly oppose efforts to sell or otherwise dispose of those lands or to limit public access to them. Idaho should cooperate with the federal government in managing those lands, but they must remain open for use and enjoyment by future generations.

The United States Supreme Court placed the abortion issue squarely in the hands of the states. As your Attorney General, I will uphold my duty to defend the law as it is written, help the Idaho legislature craft the law, respect individual liberties and defend the constitutional right of the people to create the law, including the need for women to access safe and proper health care.

As a member of the Idaho State Land Board, I will work to ensure that the State’s school endowment lands are managed responsibly. The Idaho Constitution requires the Board to secure the maximum long-term financial return from those lands for the benefit of Idaho’s public schools. The Board should cooperate with users in carrying out its work, but the lands must remain open to use by the public.

Idaho waters should stay under Idaho’s control. As Attorney General, I’ll fight any federal efforts to meddle with our storage water or to transport Idaho origin waters to other states. Data centers and other large utility users should supply their own water and power instead of disrupting Idahoans' access to these vital resources.

Scammers and cybercriminals are finding new ways to target families, businesses, and government systems. I will strengthen efforts to combat fraud and abuse, protect personal information, crack down on AI scams, and hold bad actors accountable.

Every Idaho student has a constitutional right to receive a free, uniform, and thorough public education. I’ll defend that right from unwarranted attacks that seek to undermine our public schools and interfere with the ability of our students to learn and succeed.

Idaho has dutifully administered its own fair, honest, and orderly elections in accordance with our Constitution. I will ensure that solemn responsibility remains free from federal overreach or interference.

The Attorney General should advocate for adequate funding of our justice system, including law enforcement, courts, public defenders, and corrections, in accordance with the Constitution. The AG’s office should promote legislative fixes to problems impeding the work of that important system.
