Lifelong Idahoan | Member of @NatResources & @HouseCommerce | Proudly serving Idaho’s 1st Congressional District #ID01

Washington, DC
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.

It comes as no surprise that Flock, a mass surveillance system, is now asking the government for privacy. Public maps are one of the few tools Americans have to maintain transparency and accountability over these surveillance systems. Americans want privacy. Not mass surveillance.
Flock Safety has issued a legal demand seeking the removal of a public map showing the locations of approximately 300,000 of its surveillance devices across the United States.

I’m proud to share that through my office’s casework efforts, we have helped return more than $26 million to hardworking Idahoans in the First Congressional District. It is an honor to serve the people of the First District and work alongside my team to help constituents navigate issues with federal agencies. If you are having trouble receiving a timely response from a federal agency, or if you feel you have been treated unfairly, please contact my office.

I am pleased to announce that I received a 100% rating on the American Energy Alliance’s 119th Congressional Scorecard. This recognition reflects my support for American energy. Idaho plays a vital role in our nation’s energy resources, and I will continue to advance legislation that strengthens our energy security.

The FBI is investigating recent reports of a sophisticated data breach of its systems. This serves as an important reminder for all Americans to safeguard their private data. I remain committed to protecting Americans’ data and privacy from warrantless searches, criminals, and hostile nations, while ensuring our law enforcement and intelligence agencies have the technological tools necessary to keep our nation safe. Here are some best practices for evaluating your own online security. consumer.ftc.gov/articles/pr…

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has released 35 geothermal energy parcels for a competitive lease sale. This is the kind of American energy development we should continue to pursue. My bill, the CLEAN Act, would help further unlock opportunities to develop geothermal energy and support consistent geothermal lease sales. Americans want strong energy security, and I am proud that our state of Idaho can help lead the way.

Today, we celebrate 239 years of the U.S. Constitution. Authored by our Founding Fathers and adopted by We the People, our Constitution stands as a lasting framework for protecting the inalienable rights given to us by God.

Rural health care is a vital issue for many Idahoans. Through my support of the One Big Beautiful Bill, the Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP) was established, and Idaho is expected to receive $186 million in federal funding to help serve rural communities across our state.

Earlier this month, I voted in favor of H.J. Res. 1, a proposed constitutional amendment to permanently establish the U.S. Supreme Court at nine justices. This legislation would have protected the Constitution and helped prevent any political party from attempting to stack the Supreme Court.

I just heard about the emergency landing involving a plane carrying my colleague, Congressman Tiffany. I am thankful that he is unharmed and grateful for the first responders who quickly reached him and the other passengers. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone involved.

Twenty-five years ago, on September 11, our nation was attacked, and nearly 3,000 lives were tragically taken. Today, we remember the souls we lost too soon, honor the first responders who ran toward danger for their neighbor, and reaffirm our solemn commitment as Americans to never forget.

One year later, we remember our friend, Charlie Kirk. We will never forget his life, his legacy, or his immeasurable impact on America.

Thank you, @RepRussFulcher, for sponsoring my Auto Data Privacy and Autonomy Act. Americans should have total ownership over their vehicle data.
Idahoans should always be able to determine what happens to the data their vehicle generates—including GPS location, routes, and driving habits. That’s why I have co-sponsored H.R. 6734, the Auto Data Privacy and Autonomy Act. This bill protects consumers’ sensitive vehicle data from being accessed by third parties unless the vehicle owner has authorized it, and it allows consumers to control whether they want their operator data stored or deleted.

Since the start of the 119th Congress, my colleagues and I in the House Majority have: ✅ Delivered $4.6 trillion in tax cuts—the most in U.S. history ✅ Passed approximately 900 pieces of legislation—including my measures to eliminate the tax on overtime pay and increase geothermal energy production ✅ Rescinded 22 federal bureaucratic regulations—once again, the most in U.S. history I’m proud of these results in the House, and also recognize how much more work needs to be done. I will continue fighting for policies that reduce the federal government's size and scope, strengthen our economy, and put more money back in the pockets of hardworking Americans.
The measure of a successful Congress is not how much power Washington gains. It is how much money, freedom, and opportunity we return to the American people. 🇺🇸

The days of handing out taxpayer-funded research grants based on woke DEI checkboxes need to be OVER. President Trump is cracking down. Now Congress needs to make it permanent. My Merit Restoration Act ensures federal research grants are awarded based on: ✓ Scientific merit ✓ Quality of research ✓ Benefit to the American people NOT ideological tests or DEI mandates. It’s time to MAKE MERIT THE LAW.

The House has passed the Senate Amendment to H.R. 6500. This measure keeps our federal government open come September 30th while Fiscal Year 2027 appropriations bills are finalized—avoiding the possibility of yet another politically driven and costly government shutdown. Next stop: the President’s desk.

It was an honor to welcome our Idaho veterans to Washington, D.C., for the inaugural Idaho Honor Flight and recognize the extraordinary sacrifices they made to preserve our freedom. I am grateful to the Honor Flight Network and Anheuser-Busch for their dedication to supporting veterans and to everyone who helped make this meaningful experience possible. It is a special opportunity to honor Idaho’s heroes and their families, showing them that their sacrifices will never be forgotten.
