Mateer for Idaho · District 3
A campaign rooted in decency, integrity, and compassion — built to make sure every voice in District 3 is heard in the Idaho State Legislature.
The Mission
"When I was growing up, the phrase "We the People" carried significance. It reminded us that the government exists to serve all citizens — and that everyone has a voice."
This campaign is rooted in the belief that together — by listening to each other and acting with decency, integrity, and compassion — we can ensure every individual in District 3 has a voice, and that our collective voice is heard in the Idaho State Legislature.
Protect Medicaid, defend the ACA, and keep rural hospitals — and OB-GYNs — in Idaho.
A balanced budget that doesn't balance on the backs of the people who keep Idaho running.
No corporate PAC money. Public town halls. Votes you can explain to your neighbors.
Signature Issue · Healthcare
Sandpoint lost every one of its OB-GYNs after Idaho's 2023 total abortion ban — and with them, the hospital's labor and delivery unit. Across our region, just 11 OB-GYNs now serve roughly 100,000 adult women, with gynecology waits stretching five to six months. Ten more rural hospitals are at risk of closure.
I lived this fight personally — eight eye surgeries in a single year after I was forced to drop unaffordable coverage. I'll protect Medicaid, defend the ACA, and keep rural hospitals open.
The Fight Ahead
Women's Rights
Reproductive freedom, equal pay, protections for survivors, and the right of every Idaho woman to vote without obstruction — including the new SAVE Act barriers facing married women.

Pause the 2025 tax giveaways to the wealthy. Stop the 4% cuts to schools, healthcare, police, and firefighters. Put Idaho's resources where Idahoans actually live.

We don't take corporate PAC checks. Every dollar comes from neighbors who believe Idaho deserves better. Chip in $5, $25, or whatever you can.
