Jody’s Platform

I’m Jody Keeler, and I’m running to be your next State Representative. Allow me to share a moment that lead to my decision to run for office. I recently worked at a deli store. One day, a mother and her 2 kids came in, She ordered a small chicken dinner. When I rang her up, I was witnessing a mother struggling to pay for a simple meal, memories of my own family's hardships flooded back.

That moment fueled my decision to run for office. How many of us have endured hardships and sought support? The struggles in Idaho communities motivate me to earn your vote.

The majority party's decision to return $16 million of Federal funds, denying many children summer lunches, speaks volumes. One senator was quoted saying, 'We all need to work for what we get.' But no child deserves to go hungry. Yet, their continued pursuit for the passage of school voucher tax schemes, diverting public funds to private schools, only exacerbates the issue. By failing to fully fund public education, they directly contradict their legislative responsibilities. This neglect extends beyond education. There's a lack of clarity on the total abortion ban, resulting in six pregnant mothers being airlifted out of Idaho for complications. Consequently, the legal climate has seen doctors fleeing the state, with three maternal clinics shutting down. Recruitment of new doctors is non-existent, pushing Idaho to the brink of a healthcare desert. Even libraries face lawsuits, and basic human dignity is being legislated away for all individuals. This is just the tip of the iceberg...

The dominant party has disappointed us with a destructive legislative session focused on passing bills aligned with their party's agenda, neglecting kitchen table issues crucial to all Idahoans well being. We need dedicated, hardworking legislators prioritizing Idaho families' well-being.

As your State Representative, I pledge to prioritize our district's needs. I'll enhance constituent services and amplify community voices with proactive town hall meetings. Your concerns are paramount! I am the ideal candidate to serve and advocate for you. I ask for your vote and support. Can I count on your assistance through volunteering and contributing to my campaign?
