Jim Risch: “I want to thank you for holding the hearing.”

Idaho is home to more than 12,000 veteran-owned small businesses and providing these entrepreneurs with an in-state resource will greatly benefit our veterans and our state.

My Affordable HOMES Act will cut unnecessary federal regulations to help lower the price of manufactured housing as we continue to fight to keep the American dream within reach.

Secure Rural Schools funding is a commitment the federal government made to Idaho’s rural counties, helping them maintain roads, schools and other essential services.

Homeownership is central to the American dream, and I am committed to making that a reality attainable for every hardworking Idahoan.
