YOU DESERVE A CHOICE AND A VOICE
RUXTON FOR DISTRICT 14
Too many Idahoans, including many in District 14, are not being served by those elected to represent us in the state legislature. We deserve better. I have demonstrated analytical, communication, situational judgment and interpersonal skills; a life-long commitment to public service; an understanding of the commitment necessary to do the work; and am compelled to offer a common sense choice to voters in D14
I will provide the District 14 community thoughtful leadership, responsible stewardship of public resources, and a commitment to serving all constituents with integrity and common sense.
VALERIE RUXTON:
PUBLIC SERVICE
A real-world understanding of, and appreciation for, public service, the critical voice of “we the people,” the importance of integrity and transparency
PROBLEM SOLVER
Professional achievement using analytical thinking, effective communication, sound judgment, and collaborative problem-solving skills
FACILITATOR
Belief that success is not always about finding a solution; it is about listening to all parties, considering differing viewpoints, being open to new information, and ensuring that everyone has a voice in the process
KEY PRIORITIES
Constituent Representation
Inviting and listening to concerns, working collaboratively to identify challenges and opportunities, and pursuing solutions through the legislative process are key to successfully representing constituents. I believe in fixing the right problem—asking questions, understanding the consequences of action and inaction, and rejecting exclusionary or divisive tactics that undermine meaningful progress.
Responsible and Transparent Fiscal Management
Budgeting is a tool to achieve identified goals and priorities; setting budgets without established priorities is the opposite of responsible stewardship of tax payer dollars. Constituent priorities, reliable data, a full cost-benefit analysis, and recognizing that not all costs are strictly measured in dollars are critical.
