Karlie for Idaho

Idaho needs legislators who represent ALL Idahoans. It’s time for change.

The Idaho Center for Fiscal Policy just confirmed that Republican tax cuts were a giveaway to the wealthy at the expense of Idaho families. Democrats called it. The data proves it.

Today is the day, folks! Karlie for Idaho and I will be at this as well a ton of other candidates. This event is right here in District 22! Come say hi! We want to meet you!!

I said then, and I’ll say again now: if the data told a positive story about this voucher program, the Idaho State Tax Commission would be eager to disclose it.

Idaho taxpayers deserve transparency and accountability, especially when $42 million in public funds is being spent on private school voucher tax credits with NO accountability or transparency.

I joined Sen. Melissa Wintrow and Rep. Ilana Rubel in demanding answers from the Idaho State Tax Commission about who is benefiting from this program. We asked straightforward questions:

What are the average income levels of recipients?
Were families already enrolled in private schools?
Are rural communities actually benefiting?

Instead of answers, we were met with silence and distractions.

Taxpayers deserve to know whether these subsidies are helping families who truly need new opportunities or if this is another tax giveaway benefiting Idaho’s wealthiest households, all while Idaho public schools remain last in the nation in per-student funding.

Idahoans deserve honest answers and responsible leadership.
