They don't have public campaign websites either.As for Lakey, he says his experience in the legislature speaks for itself currently serving as the Chair for the Judiciary & Rules committee.He says he led the effort to revamp the state's public defender system."I bring solid experience into the legislature, leadership experience particularly. I think you need, to be an effective legislator, you need to have that trust and experience and I've built that over the years. So I can effectively represent our district and then my values align with my district," says Lakey.Lakey tells me if hes re-elected, one of his main focuses would be legislation that would improve Idaho's economy."From my perspective, it comes down to those Republican principles of less government, lower taxes. I think it's an accomplishment that Idaho is considered the least regulated state in the union and that we've really worked hard to reduce taxes. I think when we reduce taxes it gives people more money to spend how they choose," says Lakey.
