Improve highway system; invest in broadband

One thing I consistently hear about is our transportation system. In a growing state, we must move people and products as safely and efficiently as possible. I am recommending that we direct close to $100 million to maintain and improve the state's highway system. I am also pursuing another strategic investment--improvements in Idaho's broadband infrastructure. For both urban and rural Idaho to attract business and enhance our citizens' quality of life, Idaho must be connected.

Adequate broadband infrastructure for both rural & urban

Idaho is seeing unprecedented economic growth in many parts of the state. However, that growth has not been matched in all our communities. In my travels, I constantly hear how the absence of adequate broadband infrastructure is a deterrent to growth and economic development. The Idaho Department of Commerce spent the past year analyzing the statewide challenge of inadequate broadband.

To ensure Idaho can adapt to the rapidly evolving digital world, we must actively work to improve Idaho's broadband access, pursuing all options to increase broadband connectivity. I will work with the Legislature to ensure both rural and urban Idaho are connected and well-positioned to attract and create maximum success.

Looking long-term, we must address transportation deficiencies: specifically, the safety of our roads and bridges and the necessary improvements to preserve our citizens' most precious commodity: their time.

Cybersecurity Task Force: modernize government data

State government has a duty to protect the data citizens entrust to us. I chaired the Cybersecurity Task Force three years ago and we have made progress on this important issue. Following these efforts, my budget recommendation lays out a plan for IT and cybersecurity modernization. This effort will significantly reduce our cyber vulnerability and provide long-term savings with the ultimate goals of protecting citizens' data and building public confidence.
