Resume: Republican, age 58 … lives in Star… lieutenant governor and former head of international business for Simplot Corp.

Why running: “If we had businessmen with state government experience in Congress, then we wouldn’t have the usurpation of states’ rights that we’ve seen. With me on the team, we’ll continue to have one of the strongest delegations in the United States Congress.”
