(Boise, ID) – Right On Crime (ROC), a national criminal justice campaign of the Texas Public Policy Foundation, welcomes Molly Lenty as ROC’s new State Director in Idaho and Ross Jackson as ROC’s Policy Analyst.  

With more than two-and-a-half decades as a vice president of government and community relations serving a five-state region, Lenty has extensive experience in leading change through community initiatives, organizational transformation, philanthropy, and civic leadership.

Publicly elected twice as a trustee for the College of Western Idaho, Lenty is also an entrepreneur who co-owns a manufacturing software company. She’s been recognized by many organizations including the Boise Metro Chamber of Commerce, the Women’s & Children’s Alliance, and the Idaho Business Review as both an “Accomplished under 40” and “Idaho Woman of the Year.”

Jackson worked as a research assistant for Right On Crime as he completed his graduate studies at Texas A&M University with a Master of Public Administration with a concentration in nonprofit policy advocacy and a bachelor’s in Political Science. Jackson also worked for former Congressman Kevin Brady as a legislative intern.

“We welcome Molly and Ross to our growing Right On Crime family,” said Brett Tolman, Executive Director and former U.S. Attorney.  “With 25 years of executive leadership and strategic operations, Molly is also a renowned advocate for Idaho communities. Ross is a dynamic analyst and researcher with a focus on nonprofit policy advocacy and political science. We are honored to welcome them both.”

“Strong, conservative criminal justice policy is imperative for every Idahoan to feel safe and prosper in a strong economy,” said Molly Lenty, Right On Crime Idaho Director. “I will continue my work to build on the relationships and policies that lift up Idaho businesses and communities, and I look forward to doing that work with Right On Crime.”

“I am thrilled to join the Right On Crime team.
