Examine the legislative actions of Julianne Young and their implications for the people of Idaho.

As constituents, Idaho parents hold high expectations for an education system that nurtures and develops the potential of their children. However, Julianne Young's track record reveals a pattern of decisions that have directly challenged these expectations. Despite her constitutional responsibility, Young has repeatedly voted against critical funding for schools and libraries, undermining the educational growth of our children. Her opposition to the Self-Directed Learners Program, public charter schools, scholarships, and further educational opportunities marks a departure from the path to enhancing our educational landscape.

The stewardship of Idaho's water resources, a cornerstone of our agricultural economy and community well-being, has also seen neglect. In 2023, Young opposed the budget for the Water Resources Department, crucial for monitoring aquifer health and supporting water projects essential for agriculture and family sustenance in Idaho. Furthermore, her legislative decisions have overlooked the sacrifices of those who ensure our safety, and she has failed to support the necessary funding for infrastructure projects critical for economic growth, such as state and local bridges, highways, and broadband expansion. This page aims to shed light on how these decisions not only reflect a disregard for the educational advancement and well-being of Idaho's children but also pose risks to our economy, community safety, and the quality of life we cherish.
