State Senator Christy Zito (R-Mtn. Home) is Idaho Dispatch’s first guest on a new longform podcast called “Deep Dive.” This interview explores Zito’s upbringing, her time on the farm, and what drives her values as a lawmaker.
Find out what makes Christy tick! You will appreciate her Albanian immigrant roots, her childhood growing up on the back of a horse and picking crops, strong commitment to the land, independence, devotion to family, fiscal and educational responsibility, sweet yet steely personality, and unwavering integrity and clarity of vision as an experienced legislator who is returning to office after a two-year hiatus.
12/25/24 Update: Christy also mentioned some inspiration she received from Senator Glenneda Zuiderveld, who urged her do do “the right thing” before a controversial vote.
