“Idaho has historically done well in trying times because, as a state, we are financially responsible and balance the budget. This policy contributes to Idaho’s rapid growth and is necessary to protect our state’s booming economy. I will vigorously defend this responsibility and ensure the efficient use of the hard-earned tax dollars you entrust in Idaho.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey)
“Idaho is facing explosive growth – I’m running to ensure that Idaho families can continue to live and work by having an efficient, economic government.” (Dan Garner campaign website)
“The best decisions in government are made at the local level. Local governments know their community needs and the best way to achieve their goals. Emphasis on local governance is the easiest way citizens can voice their opinions and actively participate in their government. Therefore, I strongly feel that federal and state governments should be limited to the provisions in their constitutions and that government should be executed locally.” (Dan Garner campaign website)
