If you are visiting Boise anytime soon, stop by the second floor of the State Capitol building for some family-friendly America250 fun. You can go on a Capitol treasure hunt, meet the "Revolutionary Spuds" and even sign a replica of the Declaration of Independence. america250.org/event/idaho-s…

This June we celebrate National Dairy Month. 🐮 The Gem State’s more than 800 dairy farms produce roughly 3.5 million more pounds of milk per day this year compared to last year. Thank you to Idaho dairy farmers for producing high-quality, nutrient-rich dairy products fueling our communities! idahopreferred.com/find/dair…

Idaho is proud to support @FLOTUS’s initiative. Every young person deserves the tools to succeed, achieve independence, and pursue the American Dream. We look forward to helping foster youth build brighter futures for years to come!🇺🇸 gov.idaho.gov/pressrelease/g…

I was honored to join @FLOTUS & @SecScottBessent in support of the new Fostering the Future initiative powered by Trump Accounts. This effort gives kids in foster care the same opportunity as every other child to begin building financial security and investing in their future.

I joined @LindseyGrahamSC to introduce legislation that would increase federal penalties for criminals who target licensed firearms dealers. The frequency of firearm theft has risen dramatically in recent years. Tougher criminal penalties are needed to reduce the public safety risk. dailyfly.com/2026/06/09/crap…

As communities across the Gem State gear up for the national America250 celebration, a fantastic lineup of local events is underway from the Magic Valley Field of Honor Flag Tour to community trivia nights, parades and historic courthouse centennials. I encourage all Idahoans to join these historic festivities as we lead up to Independence Day and honor the 250-year anniversary of our nation's founding. america250.org/calendar/?vie…

Idahoans’ valuable input in my housing survey will continue to help shape my work on federal legislation to strengthen housing opportunities. idahocapitalsun.com/2026/06/…

Thank you, Idaho Recreation Council, for your support! Idaho recreationalists stand together in the push to protect our natural heritage for generations to come. This bipartisan legislation is a vital step forward in ensuring our public lands remain accessible and safe for all who enjoy them.

The move by the Pentagon to leave The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints off its list of Christian religions is confounding and unacceptable. Regardless of one's own religious philosophy, you will find Latter-day Saints, whose foundational beliefs are centered on Jesus Christ, among the most patriotic individuals in our country, serving not only in the military, but throughout various government departments and around the world. I join with my colleagues and fellow Idahoans calling on the Pentagon to make an immediate correction.

On National Trails Day, we celebrate the incredible recreational benefits of our public trail systems and honor the deep, solemn history preserved along paths like the Nez Perce National Historic Trail in Idaho. This year marks the 40th anniversary of the trail’s designation by Congress in 1986. Stretching over 1,170 miles, this historic trail traces the courageous 1877 flight of the Nez Perce Tribe and serves as a lasting testament to their enduring legacy.

On the 82nd anniversary of D-Day, we honor the incredible bravery and sacrifice of the Allied heroes who stormed the beaches of Normandy to defend freedom and defeat tyranny. Their courage changed the course of history.

Idaho's family farmers, like third-generation farmer Zach Patterson, are being threatened by a flood of over-quota and highly subsidized foreign sugar. Thank you to the Idaho delegation for standing up for Idaho's farmers and farmer-owned cooperatives and asking @USTradeRep to take immediate action. Senator @MikeCrapo, @SenatorRisch, @RepRussFulcher, and @CongMikeSimpson led a letter with 112 congressional signatories.
