Sims seeks election in legislative District 3

Businesswoman and former District 4 State Senator and Representative, Kathy Sims, has announced her bid for Idaho State Representative in District 3 (Post Falls), Seat B.

Sims believes with a new governor and new house leadership, the opportunity for greater prosperity and to limit the power government has in the lives of individuals and businesses has never been greater, said a news release.

“I know how to get things done in Boise,” she said. “My proven positions, experience, and seniority make me the most qualified candidate in this race.”

House Assistant Majority Leader, Brent Crane, said of Sims, “Rep. Kathy Sims is a tried and true conservative. When she served, Rep. Sims was an effective, conservative voice in the Idaho House of Representatives.”

Sims has been a small government conservative throughout her political career.

“As a business owner for over 40 years, Sims understands how regulation and a burdensome tax system make it difficult for small businesses to succeed. Sims believes there must be a level playing field where the government is not giving one business the advantage over another,” said the news release.

Sims said she will work to repeal the grocery tax and wants to return control of our Federal lands back to our state.

“Idaho should have access to the rich resources within our borders, which will benefit all Idahoans by increasing revenue while lowering the tax burden on people and businesses,” she said.

Sims is pro-life and claims a proven record of protecting the unborn.

Sims said she believes in a strong Second Amendment and was a co-sponsor for the 2014 Campus Carry Bill which passed and was signed into law.

“I will always be on the side of an individual’s right to protect themselves, their family, and their property,” she said.

Sims has been active in the community with the Rotary Club — where she is a Paul Harris Fellow — and has been a strong supporter of Children’s Village. She was the first woman elected to the National Board of Auto Dealers. She also served as an Idaho Delegate to the 2016 Republican National Convention “where she proudly cast her vote for Donald Trump.”
