We signed up yesterday for #steps4schools sponsored by #BlueCrossofIdaho. Rep. Kauffman and I put our 10 elementary schools into a cup and drew them out. Stay tuned to see which LD25 schools will get this year's funding for athletic equipment.

Let's get moving together. I challenge all of you to walk with me during Feb. Share your goals and steps.

Modernization of the National Environmental Policy Act is a HUGE step in the right direction for not only our ranching and rural communities, but also for our roads, bridges, airports, railways, renewable energy project, and waterways. Although we would all like to see more, the increased efforts to eliminate further burdens on project renewals and delivery is valued.

The 67th Legislative Session will begin next week. The trust you put in me to serve YOU is appreciated. Thank you.

Here are some of my thoughts as we move into the 2020 Session.

1. Follow along at www.legislature.idaho.gov; Facebook: Lickley for Idaho and Twitter at LLickleyforID; Check out our website to sign up for weekly emails: www.lickleyforidaho.com

2. I take this job VERY seriously, and I pledge to look at and study each and every rule and each piece of legislation. Oftentimes, these are much more complicated than what you may read or see, either in the press or on social media. If you have a question about why I voted to support, or not, please ask. I will be at my desk by 6:30 a.m. every morning and return to my apartment by 9 p.m. every night.

3. Your emails and messages are very valuable. Please be patient and understanding as we will see upwards of 400 emails/messages a day. I will return your calls and messages. My constituents and the Magic Valley matter.

4. I will always tie my decisions back to my core values of Stronger Roots, Stronger Families, and Stronger Communities. Idaho's future is at the forefront of my mind in every decision.
