Hello! I'm Monica Church, representative for Idaho's 19th District, Seat A. I am proud to serve my hometown, a community my family has lived in for generations. 

After nearly two decades as a public school educator, I took my oath of office in 2024 with a deep resolve to advocate for Idaho’s students, teachers, and public schools. Public schools are the great equalizer, particularly in predominantly rural states like Idaho, serving as the essential hearts of our communities. As a legislator and proud union member, I am committed to upholding our constitutional mandate to protect these schools and deliver on the promise of free, uniform public education, even when challenges arise. 

Beyond the classroom, my commitment to service remains strong. I proudly serve on the boards of the Andrus Center for Public Policy in the School of the Environment at Boise State and the Sawtooth Society in Stanley, Idaho, working to preserve and protect Idaho’s wild and scenic spaces. I am also honored to be an appointed Ethics Commissioner for the City of Boise and an Idaho Delegate for the United States Global Leadership Coalition in Washington, D.C.

As the granddaughter of great Idaho public servants, Cecil and Carol Andrus and Frank and Bethine Church, my dedication to the state of Idaho and commitment to service runs deep. I strive to honor their enduring love for Idaho and her people, and their values of integrity, conservation, and opportunity. Serving in elected office is another chapter in my lifelong journey to serve our state and defend the institutions that keep our democracy strong.
