Government & Accountability
Congressional stock trades: Ban members of Congress from trading individual stocks.
Term limits: Limit terms to reduce career politics and increase accountability.
Campaign finance reform: Comprehensive reforms to limit influence of dark money, corporate donors, and super PACs.
Consequences for corruption: Ensure politicians who break the law, violate ethics, or lie under oath face real accountability.
Citizens United reform: Repeal or mitigate the influence of unlimited corporate money in politics at the state and national level.
Labor First Economy
Labor-first, union-first policies: Support unions and collective bargaining.
Middle-class economic reform: Reduce regulatory and tax burdens on working families and small businesses.
Accountability for top earners and monopolies: Hold the top 1% and monopolized industries accountable for their impact on communities.
Living wages and benefits: Guarantee living wages, proper benefit packages, and protected pensions.
Repeal right-to-work laws: Restore protections and rights for workers.
Education
Individuals and property taxes should not determine the quality of education available to Idaho students. It’s time to prioritize our youth, fully federally funding education and facilities, limiting class sizes, demanding higher teacher pay, and getting rid of standardized testing and priorities that don’t work for local educators.
With current threats to the Department of Education, we have a real opportunity to reimagine education in this country. Bringing together educators, students, faculty and administrators to innovate the best education system in the world. I will work to bring that focus to Congress, creating committees focused on fixing public education and keeping public tax dollars out of private institutions.
Israel
Working-class Idahoans deserve the same investment we send abroad. It’s time to prioritize our own people.
America’s position on the global stage comes with responsibility. Our European allies and the International Criminal Court have documented serious human rights abuses in Gaza, including genocide and the blocking of humanitarian aid to civilians. We have an obligation to call that out and demand accountability. Full Stop.
No foreign government should hold sway over American politicians. Period.
The Board of Peace is an illegal abuse of taxpayer funds. President Trump has appointed himself chairman for life, allocated $10 billion in public dollars, and partnered with the UAE, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia to seize control of Gaza’s development. It does nothing for the American people and represents exactly the kind of corrupt, unaccountable leadership Kaylee is running to fight.
Social Security & Medicare
Social Security belongs to the American people. No administration has the right to raid it to cover its own failures. It is not a slush fund. It is a promise, and it is long past time we treated it like one.
American workers deserve to retire with dignity, not spend their final years scrambling to survive on limited income while private insurance companies extract profit from a Medicare Advantage system that works for barely one in ten of the people it’s supposed to serve.
Protecting Social Security, working alongside pensioners, and building a retirement framework that actually delivers for working people isn’t a partisan issue. Every person who ever punched a clock, raised a family, and played by the rules deserves to know that the system will be there if they need it. Kaylee is committed to closing the loopholes that bleed Social Security dry, reforming Medicare so it works for patients instead of corporations, and restoring the retirement security that American workers have already earned.
Public Lands
If there is one issue that unites every single Idahoan, regardless of party, background, or zip code, it is this: our public lands are sacred, and they are not for sale.
Families, sportsmen, ranchers, and local businesses have depended on Idaho’s wilderness for generations. That access is not a privilege to be bargained away. It is a birthright worth defending. Kaylee will fight any attempt to sell off, privatize, or mismanage the lands that define what it means to live in this state.
But protecting public lands doesn’t mean leaving opportunity on the table. Idaho sits on an extraordinary asset, and we should be far more creative and strategic about how we use it. That means strengthening the federal agencies and local stakeholders who manage our lands and oversee private leases, ensuring they generate real revenue for Idaho communities. It means thoughtfully building out the infrastructure around logging, mining, and energy leases in ways that create lasting economic value without sacrificing conservation. And it means investing in recreation and sustainable land use as the economic engines they already are, and could be so much more.
Idaho’s public lands can be a source of revenue, recreation, and natural beauty all at once. We don’t have to choose. We just need leadership creative and committed enough to make it work.
Housing
Private equity in housing: Limit speculative investment that drives up housing costs. Ban investment firms and hedge funds from buying up single family homes, of which they currently own 26% in the United States. Investigate and prevent the artificial inflation of rent and home prices in Idaho communities.
Affordable housing incentives: Create tax incentives to build accessible, sustainable, and affordable housing with a focus on diverse housing for our workforce and families.
Stimulate local economies: Develop responsible revenue streams that support communities without exploiting resources.
Veterans
It is an abomination to have the highest defense budget in the world and yet fail to take care of service men and women. Supporting the PACT Act to ensure coverage of toxic burn pit exposure should only be the beginning.
Veterans shouldn’t have to beg or work for any services they need after making the ultimate sacrifice for their country. Fully funding and staffing the VA, and ensuring local access for rural veterans is a huge priority.
In a state like Idaho, where countless veterans live hours from the nearest VA facility, distance should never be the reason a hero goes without care.
Healthcare
Get insurance companies out of the healthcare system and end the influence of profit-driven middlemen.
Break up monopolies among providers and insurers to increase competition and lower costs.
Investigate Medicaid and Medicare fraud to ensure taxpayer dollars go where they belong.
Guarantee affordable, accessible healthcare for every American, putting patients before profits.
Build a system that works better and costs less than the current, broken model, so Idahoans can finally get the care they deserve.
Infrastructure
Without investing in Idaho’s rural infrastructure, we will continue to lose businesses, young families, and economic opportunity to states who invest in rural communities.
America was at its best when we prided ourselves on being at the forefront of every industry. We have failed to invest in public transit, shipping, railways, and public works like waste water treatment.
Investing in updated infrastructure prevents expensive failures and allows for local economies to attract lucrative new business and an educated workforce.
Rural Idaho is not a footnote. It is the backbone of this state, and it has been neglected for too long. Without serious investment in rural infrastructure, we will continue to lose businesses, young families, and economic opportunity to states that actually show up for their communities. That is not acceptable, and it is not inevitable.
Immigration
Effective immigration policy requires responsibility, not recklessness. Spending over a billion dollars on bonuses for unqualified agents while directing enforcement to violate First, Fourth, and Fifth Amendment protections isn’t security. It’s a distraction that puts real people at risk and undermines the rule of law.
Idaho deserves an immigration system that is secure, humane, and functional. That means investing in border technology, fully funding immigration courts, and streamlining the visa process. The Farm Workforce Modernization Act would have done exactly that for Idaho’s agricultural workers that is the model worth building on.
Taxpayer dollars should fund smart enforcement, not private detention facilities housing legal residents and asylum seekers who followed the process to get here. It’s time to move past the politics and get serious about the policy.
Data Privacy & AI Regulation
We are at the forefront of a technological revolution without any guardrails or protection for the American people. It’s time to update the legal framework that responsibly regulates AI, protects data privacy of every user, and prevents the reckless use of data centers at the expense of working-class families’ utility costs.
We must separate big tech from our political process, elections, and military until proper research and guardrails are put into place.
We must invest in cyber security training and education to ensure that the next generation of experts are working for the protection of the American people. Idaho is perfectly positioned to spearhead a innovative approach to this issue and train the next generations of Cyber Security Experts.
Not just sit by while the unregulated tech bros profit.
Criminal Justice Reform
The United States has the highest incarceration rates in the world, with more and more being spent in private prison systems with high recidivism rates.
Justice belongs to everyone, everywhere. It’s time that we hold those at the top, those in government, and those with even the best criminal lawyers accountable.
You should not be able to escape prosecution by hiding behind LLC’s and Corporate shareholders. It’s time to stop putting those who shoplift toiletries behind bars while board members who okay the release of goods that cause the deaths of hundreds escape with minimal fines.
It’s time to implement longer sentences for violent criminals, and start investing in education and early intervention for substance use, mental health, and smaller offenses. Incarceration is the most expensive way of handling issues in America, it’s time to start thinking differently about criminal behavior and treatment plans, while breaking up private equity’s role in keeping non-violent, everyday people behind bars.
Law enforcement should not have to handle mental health crisis and substance abuse issues, especially when incarceration has failed in improving outcomes. We are capable of building and investing in successful new systems to handle addiction and mental health by listening to professionals and those with experience. No more bandaids, it’s time to put America at the forefront of handling criminal justice.
It’s time to separate dangerous criminals from struggling, non-violent offenders and create a system that allows for people to give back to their community without costing tax payers by sitting behind bars.
