Describe your community involvement:

Since moving back to Coeur d’ Alene in early of 2004 I have been attending various public meetings to listen to the people of Coeur d’ Alene whenever I can. I also ran for State Senate in 2006. This has made me known among the community and given me a unique perspective. 

Together we can give younger generations opportunities that may be out of reach for them. A future must be guaranteed and equal to all. I am concerned for the path of our future, country, society and world. I am tired of those who would put others/community at risk for personal gain. Let us seriously look for long-term solutions. Let us create advisory committees from all parts of the political spectrum. We are not alone in our actions. We must accept personal responsibility for the future.

What are your three priority issues and why:

Please visit my web site for more detail. WWW.JEREMY4IDAHO.COM or call 651-7876

PUBLIC SAFETY - Stronger enforcement and prosecution for all sexual offenses (including one strike laws) and violent crimes (especially crimes committed against children/elderly and domestic/dating violence) - eliminate all Statutes of Limitations on these crimes. More rehabilitation opportunities for non-violent crimes and offenders to become productive members of society.

ENERGY INDEPENDENCE - Establishing Idaho (new industries) to be at the forefront of supplying and developing alternative resources for the future. Establish alternative energy resources and industries for economic, environmental, and national stability and security.

EDUCATIONAL AND ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES - It is a fact that the higher the educational level a child has the further they will go in life often equating to a higher quality of life. I do not believe in handouts, however, a hand-up needs to be genuine and equally given to all. We need to devote more resources to our children’s futures if we wish them to compete effectively in the world of tomorrow. A proper education is the best offense to break the “Cycle of Poverty”. Prevent state cuts in funding and encourage the State of Idaho’s tax responsibility in education instead of placing the burden onto local property taxpayers. Receiving my education in Idaho, I know good teachers need more compensation than they currently receive and bad teachers need to be dismissed. We need to give all Idahoans something more to look forward to than living paycheck to paycheck. We need to create more education and/or training opportunities to create future self-reliance.

Why? I am very concerned for the future and these are three issues that affect our lives and lifestyles directly.
