When I served in the Idaho Legislature, one thing was always abundantly clear—legislation and debate must always be limited to a single subject. It goes without saying, but in D.C., that is not how things are run, and I believe that needs to change. I have reintroduced the One Subject at a Time Act, H.R. 4324, which will focus every bill the U.S. Congress considers on a single subject, ensuring each topic receives a separate vote.

146,000 migrant children who were unaccounted for under the previous White House administration have now been located. This is welcome news, but we must not stop until every child is found. I will continue to do everything I can in the @HouseGOP to support law enforcement’s efforts to secure our border and protect the most vulnerable among us—children.

The federal government should not be permitted to access Americans' private communications without a warrant. I remain committed to protecting both our national security and the constitutional rights of the American people. For this reason, I again voted no on extending FISA Section 702.

A secure border is essential to U.S. national security. Earlier this week, I voted YES on the Secure America Act to provide continued funding for CBP and ICE, ensuring the men and women who protect our nation have the resources they need to keep American citizens safe.

When our agriculture sector is resilient, America is resilient. I voted in favor of H.R. 8646, legislation that champions our farmers and strengthens the United States’ food security. The Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act of 2027: ✅ Cracks down on foreign ownership of U.S. farmland ✅ Supports critical agricultural research and invests in animal and plant health programs ✅ Ensures American producers have what they need to remain competitive in the global marketplace
From keeping poultry and cattle safe from disease to making it easier for farmers and ranchers to access programs, H.R. 8646 puts rural America first — and does it while cutting spending from last year’s level. Thank you, @RepAndyHarrisMD!

America has the resource. We need the resolve to develop it. With a small surface footprint and enormous potential, geothermal is a powerful addition to an all-of-the-above energy strategy. Let's streamline permitting and get America powered.⚡️

It bears repeating: Geothermal has the potential to be an energy powerhouse for America. Read the Idaho Capital Sun’s article on the House passage of my bipartisan geothermal bill, the CLEAN Act, at the link below. idahocapitalsun.com/briefs/u…

High-powered law firms target small businesses and threaten them with expensive, complicated court battles to force a settlement even if they haven't necessarily done anything wrong. Hear from @RepRussFulcher about how the SECURE Data Act allows us to focus on the worst privacy violators and deliver big wins for consumers who were harmed.

Geothermal is abundant, always on, and key to unleashing American energy dominance 🔥 @RepRussFulcher’s CLEAN Act delivers annual geothermal energy lease sales and commonsense permit timelines, ensuring the heat beneath our feet can be put to work for the American people.

The House has passed my bipartisan CLEAN Act to bolster geothermal energy production. Geothermal is a clean, abundant, and dependable energy resource that can help meet America’s rapidly rising power demands. However, the lack of consistent geothermal lease sales and the slow federal permitting process result in timelines longer than many other energy projects. The CLEAN Act will address these barriers and unlock opportunities to explore and develop this renewable energy source. I’m grateful to see this legislation pass the House and urge the Senate’s swift consideration of this commonsense measure.

⚡️@RepRussFulcher's "CLEAN Act," amends the Geothermal Steam Act of 1970 to require the Secretary of the Interior to hold geothermal energy lease sales annually. It also implements timelines for permit applications.

“Sugarbeet growers across Idaho, Oregon, and Washington are experiencing some of the toughest market conditions in recent history due to a flood of unfairly subsidized [over-quota] foreign sugar entering the U.S. market." — Samantha Parrott, Executive Director of the Snake River Sugarbeet Growers Association We deeply appreciate the members of the Idaho, Oregon, and Washington delegations who signed the recent bipartisan, bicameral letter to @USTradeRep, including Senator @MikeCrapo, @SenatorRisch, @RepBentz, @RepBynum, @RepRussFulcher, @RepMGP, @RepValHoyle, @RepNewhouse, and @CongMikeSimpson.

Our Veterans should never be treated differently from other Americans simply because they rely on a fiduciary to help manage their VA financial benefits due to a disability. The Veterans 2nd Amendment Protection Act, H.R. 1041, would permanently prohibit the Department of Veterans Affairs from reporting Veterans to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) list unless a court order is issued. This legislation protects the Constitutional due process rights of Veterans, and I am glad to have supported its passage on the House floor.

It is parents—not the education system—who have the ultimate authority over their children’s upbringing. H.R. 2616 protects parental notification and agreement regarding important decisions affecting students in K-12 schools. This legislation also ensures that the primary focus in classrooms is on education—not the promotion of personal political or ideological agendas without parents’ knowledge. I’m proud to support this commonsense bill and glad to share that it has passed the House.
