I BELIEVE IN INTEGRITY; HONESTY AND SERVING OTHERS

I work with the Boy Scouts where, among other things, we promote the U.S. and Idaho Constitutions and I honor and pledge to uphold both documents.

BACKGROUND

Growing up in Malad, I worked for my dad, Boyd Lewis, at the Lewis/Sperry Ford Co.; Chris Toland at his local gas station, and several area farmers learning the value of hard work.  I served a mission to Florida where I learned to work with people from different backgrounds and the value of persistence.  After college at Utah State University, I married Alyce Alder and together we raised a family while living in Wyoming and Montana working in the Agriculture Industry.  We owned and operated a farm equipment dealership where I learned

the value of farmers and ranchers and their contributions to feeding the world!  Running a business also taught me the value of living within a budget and importance of setting aside funds for a challenging year. When Alyce and I returned to our Malad Grass Roots nine years ago, I was asked to give back to my community by serving in public office.  It has been a pleasure to serve Oneida County in the office of County Commissioner and I value your trust.

I appreciate the many calls and comments of support.

I love Oneida County, the people and our way of life!

I would appreciate your VOTE

 Candidate Profile—Randy Willie, Precinct 4 

My name is Randy Willie. I am running for the Precinct Committeeman in Precinct 4 of the Oneida County Republican Party.

I am a lifelong resident of Oneida County, other than a few years when I was attending Utah State University and serving a mission for my church in Florida.

I graduated from Malad High School, as did my wife, Lois, and our four children.

I graduated from Utah State University with a degree in secondary education with history and English majors. Later I earned a Master of Human Resources from Idaho State University and a Master of Education from the University of Idaho.

After teaching for 33 years, I recently retired. The years of teaching Government, History and English were rewarding as I worked with the youth in the Pocatello School District and Oneida School District. I especially enjoyed coaching football, basketball, and soccer in Pocatello and here in Malad.

Many years were spent on the Eagle Review Board helping young men attain their Eagle Scout Rank. 

One summer I had the opportunity to serve as an intern through Idaho State University to the United States Congress in Washington DC. It was a privilege to serve with Idaho’s Congressional Delegation.

We own R&R Driving School and have been in the business of teaching the youth all over southeast Idaho to safely drive for over 35 years.

I am currently serving as a board member of private driving businesses through an appointment from Governor Little in the Department of Occupational and Professional Licensing for the State of Idaho. I have been serving in this capacity for about 5 years, with two of those years serving as the board chair. Before this appointment I served as President of the Idaho Private Driving Businesses Association for over 7 years. I also served as a Regional Vice President of The Driving Schools of America Association.

During my teaching career, I developed a passion for history and government and blended that with my English major, resulting in writing and publishing an historical fiction book, titled “Heavy Metal”. The story begins with the Legend of the Iron Door in the Samaria Mountains. 

We have lived in our 1938 family farmhouse for 46 years among many wonderful friends and neighbors. I love this community and what it has to offer. The conservative values of this community have helped us raise our children in this safe haven, where our beliefs and freedoms can be shared and sustained.

If I am elected to this position, I intend to keep these conservative values that I have held as a lifelong Republican and defend those values to benefit the citizens of Precinct 4. I would appreciate your vote on

May 21st.
