Idaho is a leading example of the important role of active forest management for conservation and forest health. As a trained forester, I’m proud to partner with @SenAngusKing to celebrate Arbor Day!

Deadly fentanyl overdoses have impacted far too many Idaho communities. Now that the FEND Off Fentanyl Act has been signed into law, we can cut off the flow of fentanyl into the US by seizing the financial assets of Chinese suppliers & Mexican cartels. With @SenatorTimScott , I’m…

Antisemitism has no place in America, including on college campuses. These aren’t protests. It isn’t peaceful. It is a direct attack on the Jewish community. The Department of Education must take immediate action to punish schools that fail to protect their students from…

No student should fear their safety on a college campus. The continued acts of violence and antisemitism across the country are despicable and we must hold these higher education institutions accountable for their failure to protect Jewish students.

I do not support ranked choice voting. This sounds like a solution looking for a problem that doesn’t exist. The system we’ve got works. I’ve learned in life when you’ve got something like that, don’t mess with it.

Nuclear energy will power our future. I'm proud to support @INL with the Advanced Nuclear Caucus and on the Energy Committee to showcase the Gem State's continued work on nuclear innovation and cybersecurity.

President Biden’s radical green agenda, including calls to breach the four lower Snake River dams that provide clean, reliable energy to thousands of homes across the Northwest, is an assault on Americans’ way of life. Make no mistake, the dams are here to stay.

The Biden admin’s war on life led to veterans care facilities wrongfully providing abortions. American taxpayer dollars fund veterans’ care, so they have a right to have full transparency regarding just how many abortions the Biden admin has enabled through this deadly policy.…

This admin creates as many ridiculous hurdles as possible to restrict law-abiding gun owners’ access to affordable guns & ammo. The Ammunition Supply Chain Act forces transparency from the Biden admin about the status of our domestic ammo supply chain.

The SEC's climate disclosure rule prioritizes the Biden admin’s green-agenda over Idaho’s business owners & investors. This CRA resolution pushes back on the admin’s blatant federal overreach & protects economic opportunity, consumers from high costs, & companies from burdensome…

Idaho’s forest products industry supports rural economies, reduces wildfire risk, and produces high-quality building materials. With the Mass Timber Federal Buildings Act, Idaho timber would be a prioritized construction material in federal buildings.

The Senate must hold a full impeachment trial of Secretary Mayorkas—it is our duty.

Articles of impeachment against Sec. Mayorkas were delivered to the Senate today. Holding a full trial is about getting the American people the transparency and accountability they deserve. Even if Senator Schumer wants to ignore the border crisis.

Detain and deport is the law. Under the Biden admin, it’s been replaced with catch and release. We will continue to see this crisis at the southern border as long as President Biden refuses to enforce our immigration laws.

President Biden & Secretary Mayorkas refuse to enforce existing immigration laws. As a result, 9.4 MILLION illegal immigrants have entered the US through the southern border. We need strong immigration enforcement and we need it now.
