Bios
Amanda Easley
Amanda Easley owns a small consulting business where she helps companies solve problems. She is running for House Seat 22B to bring practical, solutions-focused leadership to Idaho.
Raised by a Vietnam veteran and a public school teacher, Amanda was instilled with a deep respect for service. She began her career as a veterinary technician and transitioned into senior strategy roles within the animal health industry. Amanda lives in Boise with her wife, Karlie, and their son. She is committed to strengthening Idaho's public schools, protecting healthcare access, and ensuring Idaho's rapid growth benefits all working families through sensible economic policy and integrity in government.
​
Amanda is running because she is tired of seeing the Idaho Legislature focus on the wrong issues. She wants to bring her common sense approach to problem-solving to the Legislature to make sure every citizen can thrive.Â
Karlie Easley
Karlie Easley is a hospice nurse and fourth generation Idahoan running for State Senate to represent all Idahoans.  She will prioritize public education, healthcare and affordability.Â
Â
Karlie has spent her career on the front lines of healthcare, providing compassionate care to Treasure Valley families in the emergency and hospice settings. As a mother and lifelong Idahoan, she understands the vital importance of protecting our public institutions from extremist agendas. Her platform focuses on reversing the voucher program and funding public education, prioritizing residency partnerships to bring more providers to Idaho while protecting individual freedom for patients to make decisions with their doctors and ensuring that Idaho remains a place where future generations can thrive with dignity and opportunity.Â
Â
She is running because she loves Idaho and knows that extremist agendas from outside Idaho have and continue to create an environment where Idaho’s medical providers and other professionals are moving away.  This isn’t sustainable and is not what’s best for Idaho today or in our future.Â
