Rod Pelton, a Republican, is running for the state senate. He has experience as a small business owner and has served in the House and Senate.

Qualifications and Priorities

Pelton has been self-employed and a small business owner for most of his life. He has signed both sides of a paycheck, which he believes gives him a unique understanding of the needs of businesses and individuals. He has also served as a county commissioner for 6 years, in the House for 4 years, and in the Senate for 4 years.

Pelton’s top policy priorities include agriculture, rural healthcare, local control, and over-regulation. He is concerned about the impact of over-regulation on the cost of living and believes that it is an issue that is being overlooked in this race.
