Issues
Who Hears Us in Boise?
With the vast majority of Idaho's population solidly in the western and northern tiers of our state, Idaho Falls needs a voice that will be heard.
Bart Davis is that voice! His hard work ethic, integrity and years of service in the Idaho State Senate place him as a respected statesman, a proven leader, and a man with the political savvy to get things done. A "deliberative" legislator (Post Register 3/07/08).
- Senate Majority Leader - Idaho State Senate
- State Affairs Committee • Judiciary & Rules Committee
- 2009 Chair - Council of State Governments
- 2009 & 2004 National Leadership Award - State Government Affairs Council
- 2010 Professor Boyd Martin Award, Idaho Association of Cities
What about higher education?
The 30 fastest-growing occupations in the United States require more than a high school education.
While Idaho rates above the national average in high school graduation, it is below average in college attendance and completion rates.
Idaho Falls deserves a strong higher education alternative! University Place - Idaho Falls and EITC are cost effective resources that help families control costs.
I encourage and support these colleges as they provide additional opportunities for education to our area.
What About INL?
As an invaluable regional and national resource, Idaho National Laboratory is Eastern Idaho's largest private employer. Its staff is one of the most highly skilled and educated workforces in the nation.
The work performed at INL is crucial to national energy independence and homeland security. The Lab's recent award-winning technology that produces clean biodiesel fuel from waste is just one example of INL innovation improving the quality of our lives.
Our Lab deserves steadfast support as it leads the country in the resurgence of nuclear power, develops secure, sustainable energy systems.
The INL, University Place, the Center for Advanced Energy Studies, and AREVA position our community well for a prosperous future.
