Political: Since 2000, has worked to get a judicial accountability initiative on the statewide ballot, which proposes laws that would hold judges accountable when they willfully abuse their position. Democratic write-in candidate for the Idaho House, District 16 in Ada County, in 1998.
Key issues: Accountability for judges, lawyers and legislators. Believes marriage must be legally recognized only between a man and a woman. Better definition for the War on Drugs so families and children aren't hurt. For example, about 50 percent of the people incarcerated committed nonviolent crimes. When a family's provider is taken away, women and children are often left to fend for themselves. That leads to destruction of the entire family, not just the offender.
