I declair my Independent Candidacy for State Representative Twin Falls Dist. 25


Our children deserve to live in an Idaho like the one we grew up in. One that does not lose its small town values, small business, safe neighborhoods and accountability. Our city is growing too fast, without a supportive infrastructure or affordable housing to sustain all this growth. Tax payers are tired of picking up the tab of senseless government spending. We want to live in a State that makes sound, future proof economic and development decisions, is responsible stewards of the natural resources we are blessed with. We want to live in a State that offers a pathways to a bright future for everyone, especially our youth.

My full platform brings people from all politicals back grouns to meet on the issues which affect us all as Idahoans. It is driven by prioritizing working-class values instilled by my parents: conservative spending, individual liberty, limited government, equality, dignity and respect of all people, regardless of their background.

I am ready to earn your vote this Nov 8th. I will be your outspoken voice, wherever it is needed, putting the people of our community first.

Idaho Hometown Hero Award


I asked the most handsome man to be my date for the Idaho’s Hometown Hero Ceremony. Thank you Governor and JRM Foundation for Humanity for recognizing my local and global humanitarian life’s work!! In all the languages I know, there are still not enough words to express gratitude for the life of opportunity America granted my refugee family. I dedicate my Idaho Hometown Hero Medal to my Father, Martin and Mama, Tamara for their dire, backbreaking work and sacrifice to rebuild our lives with the crumbs of the American Dream in a new country. They don’t make medals for people like my parents. They are my HEROS!! I take pride in giving back and serving my adoptive community and country, and we are just getting started! Looking forward to meeting the 2019 Medalist and sharing my book “Liminal, a refugee memoir” with the great people of Pocatello this Saturday, September 7th. Learn more about the inspiring humanitarian work Idahoans are doing worldwide at Idaho’s Hometown Hero Medal. Truly humbled to receive this honor and share this special moment with my parents. Twin Falls, Idaho is our Ellis Island as it is has become for so generations before us. #VoteBabayan #IndependentCandidate #StateRepresentative #TwinFallsDist25 #ThePeopleFirst #Idaho
