Christy Perry (born June 4, 1968 in Ankara, Turkey)[1] is a Republican Idaho State Representative since 2010 representing District 13 in the B seat. Christy has made news recently professing support for faith healing instead of medical care in certain circumstances. She cites the religious beliefs of a denomination of Christianity prominent in her district for her reasoning.[2][3]
