Priority One - Job Creation
Our economy needs new ideas and Rep. Durst has been a proven innovator in job creation. Without creating more jobs, our economy will continue to languish. While we must look for opportunities wherever they may be, Rep. Durst is especially focused on small business development. He is the author of HB 584, which would create the Micro Enterprise Development Authority (MEDA). MEDA would provide loans for small businesses to start-up or expand. Supporting small businesses is essential to a 21st century vision for Idaho.

Priority Two - Connecting the Education Pipeline
As public schools and higher education are being asked to do more with less, now is the time to innovate in education. First, to really maximize on our educational dollar, we must begin to look at expanding access to early learning opportunities. In addition, we need to challenge students to maximize on their own potential. Rep. Durst's innovative and bipartisan legislation that passed in 2010, the Mastery Advancement Pilot Project (MAPP), will provide scholarships for college to students that push themselves to make the most of their education. Connecting the education pipeline from early learning to college graduation is critical to Idaho's future.
