You might not have heard! I was on Neal Larson’s show today. I went on knowing full well that they would ambush me. But I also know this might have been the only chance I’d have to face Rep. Ehardt one-on-one because she doesn’t usually show up unless it’s convenient and comfortable for her. She doesn’t feel that she needs to be accountable, so she will only debate in safe spaces. Watch for upcoming candidate forums. Because I’m willing to show up anytime, anywhere for the people of Idaho Falls.

Opinion: Public education is for everyone, regardless of economic background!

As the son of a public educator I feel this is an issue I am very close to. I saw my mother go out of her way for her students and have a lasting impact, she did not do this because of their test scores or because of how much money their families had. She did this if for any reason the exact opposite because she knew that those that are dealt a bad hand need someone to help them up.

She knew it was not the child's fault and many times they were doing the best they could with what they had. No child should be punished because of the economic background they find themselves born into. Nor should they have to score at a certain level in order to receive quality education.

This week's op-ed is something I feel must be discussed more regularly within the political discourse of this election season. The difference between surface level populism and a strong political stance of populism and collectivism aimed at the welfare of the people. You all have heard people say left leaning policies aren't popular in Idaho, so we should leave and go somewhere where they are. I argue that the frustration so many on both sides of the political spectrum come from one of two things. Either populism with no true direction of policy, or a populist collectivism that directs power to the few and away from the masses. Both are harmful and both are destroying Idaho's working class.
