Learn Where Jeff Cornilles Stands On Key Issues

While talking to voters in Nampa, it is clear that property taxes are a big concern. Property tax relief will help those who are retired on fixed incomes as well as those just starting out. I am grateful for the income tax cuts we've seen in this state these past two years. We can do better.

Another big concern of residents is maintaining the Idaho quality of life.

First, we need to get a handle on the growth. We need to invest in critical infrastructure like roads, bridges and water systems before it is too late and overloaded. We also have to be preserving as much of our open space as possible. 

We need to protect our public lands. We have what the pioneers were looking for in a state. Our outdoor recreation is one of the biggest benefits of living in Idaho. As an outdoorsman, I believe in the motto of keeping public lands in public hands and we must defend our land at all cost. The Outdoor Idaho way of life needs to be preserved for future generations.

Growth in Idaho needs to pay the way for more schools to be built and teachers hired. We are definitely behind, our classrooms are overcrowded.

We need to support parents and parents' rights when it comes to their children's education.

We need to support Career and Technical education. CWI is a great example of one of our schools that offers a pathway to success to our high school students to be able to personalize their education based on their career interests and unique learning needs.

The First and Second Amendments are under attack and we need to stand up against those who want to restrict them including the Federal Government. As an outdoorsman and gun owner I do not support gun control. Law-abiding citizens have the right to bear arms for both recreation and protection.

We MUST protect life. At the core it means I value all human beings. Taking the life of a preborn baby is a violation of the fundamental right to life.

As a state, we have put into place protections for the unborn but there is more we can do. I hope we can provide more support for expectant mothers and the resources they might need.

Safety is another concern of our residents. We need to make sure that both Police and our fire departments are fully funded and able to keep up with the unprecedented growth we are experiencing. I back the blue, with radical leftist protesters constantly vilifying our local heroes I encourage our community to stand up and defend their honor.
