Kody's Priorities

Strong Communities. Strong Idaho.

Building Idaho’s Future, Protecting Idaho’s Values

Idaho is growing fast, and with that growth comes new opportunities—and new challenges. As a husband, father, small business owner, and homeowner right here in Nampa, I know what it feels like for families working to build a stable future in an ever-changing Idaho.

My commitment as your representative is simple: to listen, to lead with common sense, and to focus on solutions that strengthen our communities while protecting the values that make Idaho the best place in the country to call home.

Housing Affordability &

Guided Growthy

Having worked in real estate development and served four years on the Nampa Planning & Zoning Commission, I’ve seen how growth impacts everyday families—from rising housing costs to overloaded infrastructure. Growth isn’t the enemy, but unguided growth can hurt the very communities we love.
I’ll work to:

  • Prioritize responsible, planned growth that protects neighborhoods and farmland.

  • Support policies that expand housing options while keeping ownership within reach for working Idaho families.

  • Invest in infrastructure and local planning, ensuring our roads, water systems, and public safety keep up with growth.

  • Promote transparency in land-use decisions, so residents are informed and their voices are heard.

Economic Strength &

Small Business

As a small business owner, I understand the risks, hard work, and perseverance it takes to build something from the ground up. Idaho’s business community deserves an environment that rewards initiative, not red tape.
I’ll advocate to:

  • Cut unnecessary regulations that slow down growth and innovation.

  • Strengthen workforce training and career education, giving Idahoans the tools to succeed in local industries.

  • Encourage local entrepreneurship by keeping taxes fair and business rules simple.

  • Promote policies that support small businesses and rural economies, keeping opportunity close to home.

Public Safety &

Community Security

Every Idahoan deserves to feel safe in their home and confident in their community. Safe neighborhoods are essential for families and businesses to thrive.
I will continue to:

  • Stand with our law enforcement professionals who protect our communities every day.

  • Support adequate funding and training for first responders.

  • Encourage cooperation between communities and law enforcement to build trust and accountability.

  • Uphold Idaho’s values of law, order, and personal responsibility.

Fiscal Responsibility

Having served on local boards and managed a successful business, I believe government should live within its means—just like Idaho families do. Every tax dollar should be spent with purpose and accountability.
I’ll focus on:

  • Eliminating waste and inefficiency in state government.

  • Prioritizing essential investments in education, public safety, and infrastructure.

  • Keeping taxes low, so families and small businesses can keep more of what they earn.

  • Ensuring full transparency in how state funds are used.

Supporting Idaho Families

Strong families are the foundation of strong communities. As a husband and father, I know firsthand the daily balancing act of raising kids, paying bills, and making a life here in Idaho. I’ll champion policies that make it easier for families to thrive.
That means:

  • Keeping Idaho affordable by reducing financial burdens and keeping taxes low.

  • Protecting parental rights and ensuring families—not bureaucrats—guide their children’s future.

  • Supporting family stability through access to good jobs, reliable childcare, and safe neighborhoods.

  • Encouraging community involvement and faith-based partnerships that strengthen local support networks.

Idaho is changing, but our values don’t have to. My goal is to ensure that as our state grows, we do it the Idaho way: guided by integrity, hard work, and a deep respect for family and community. Together, we can build a future that honors what makes Idaho home.
