Patrick Nauman always dreamed of owning a candy shop like the one in his hometown of Weiser. In 2007 that dream came true when he purchased Weiser Classic Candy. Since then, Patrick has expanded the business nationwide while supporting young entrepreneurs through a local scholarship program. #SupportLocalGems

Our veterans are the best of us: dedicated, patriotic, selfless, and much more. I was honored to join the Nampa American Legion chapter for coffee to hear about their service and discuss my work to bolster veteran benefits for the men, women, and families who defended our freedoms.
