Where Stegner stands

Education & Opportunity

Idaho’s Constitution requires a quality public education for every child in Idaho, no matter how large or small their community. That is not a suggestion; it’s a sacred obligation.

Public Lands

Idaho’s public lands are and should continue to be accessible to the public - full stop. They are not a personal playground for billionaires looking to buy up what rightfully belongs to all of us.

Water Rights

Idaho’s water shortage did not begin overnight and it won’t be solved overnight, but we need to start as soon as possible to identify solutions.

Constitutional Leadership

I swore an oath to uphold the Constitution, and that oath still means something to me.
