Hello Meridian Neighbor,

Are you fed up with government waste, rising taxes, and transportation problems in the great state of Idaho? I am too! In fact, I am so fed up that I have decided to do something about it.

My name is Joe Palmer and I am running for re-election as Idaho State Representative, District 20 Seat A. I am still the "Average Joe" I was before I ran two years ago, just more educated this time. That is to say I am a parent, a small business owner, and a tax payer.

To see what I have done for you in my first term as your Representative and what I will continue to do, please click “issues” at the top.

I am not a career politician.

But I am the following:

• Loving husband and father of four children
• Small business owner in downtown Meridian for over twenty years
• Lifetime Treasure Valley resident
• Conservative republican

If you are an Idahoan who cares about the future of this great state, I would appreciate your continued support.

Joe Palmer
"Average Joe" for Idaho
