I am finishing a double major in Political Science and Criminal Justice, and am the Chief of Staff for the Associated Students of CWI. I serve on the College Council Executive Board and the Idaho Students Association’s Legislative Council, and organize volunteers for the Idaho Office on Refugees.
Kaylee is a sixth-generation Idahoan with deep roots in Idaho and the First District. Her great-great-great grandparents homesteaded in what is now the Eagle foothills. She still lives on that land, on a street named for my great-grandfather. Kaylee has been married to Trevor Peterson for 10 years and has two children.
Government and politics have always been a big part of my life, though I never thought I’d run for office. But over the last few years, as I have seen our beloved Idaho torn apart by divisiveness, extremism and even violence, I knew it was time for me to step up.
This amazing candidate was strongly endorsed by the Idaho Statesman:
There was no way we could endorse her opponent, the news outlet said. He "refused to be interviewed by the editorial board, and we do not endorse candidates who do not have the commitment to transparency to answer basic questions."
And, more fundamentally, the problematic politician "betrayed his country in the wake of the 2020 election." He "voted to object to the certification of the election, not because there were any serious questions about the election’s legitimacy, but for political reasons. It was dishonest. It was cowardly. It should disqualify him from office."
"So you might assume we are endorsing Peterson simply because she presents an alternative. But that isn’t true. We were genuinely impressed by her."
The opponent refused to debate Peterson this year. The statesman said:
It’s not hard to see why. She may well have wiped the floor with him if he had agreed to show up.
It is time to put this quality candidate at the front of the national discussion. Donate. Share. Support. Tell your Idaho friends to vote Kaylee Peterson for Congress!
