Senate internships are a great way to introduce the next generation of Idaho leaders to the legislative process and give them a behind the scenes look at public policy.
I applaud this group for their good work and their commitment to serving Idaho!
The federal government made a promise to rural communities that rely on SRS for schools, road maintenance, and other essential services.
One of the things I want to talk about a little bit today is the fact that you know that on, or about, the 4th of July, they’re going to go critical with three micro reactors at the Idaho National Lab.
The concentration of precious metal depositories in a single region has left Idahoans at a disadvantage.
One-size-fits-all federal heating standards prevent small businesses and farmers from appropriately protecting the people they employ.
As time goes on, we’re going to be an aggressive competitor in this marketplace. I really believe it.
Pregnancy centers are often an important lifeline for mothers and growing families.
Idaho is the poster child for how effective, active forest management improves forest health, supports conservation, and reduces the risk of catastrophic wildfire.
Our work ahead is critical, and I will never stop fighting to protect Idaho’s way of life.
today, I come to the floor, once again, after numerous--and I have lost count of how many of these the Democrats have tried--to set the legal record on the war powers straight and in plain terms. The first thing we need to do is look at…

I rise today to respond to Senator Kaine's S.J. Res. 90, and I would like to state clearly that the administration is very much opposed to this resolution, and they have put out a policy statement as of today stating that they strongly…
As chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, I oppose this measure. Like everyone on this floor, we want--we all want the conflict in Gaza to end as quickly as possible. The reality is, Hamas has the ability to do so right now by…
I rise today to oppose the two resolutions that are in front of the body right now. These two resolutions are an attempt to stop munition sales to Israel that have been approved by the administration and are designed to provide Israel with…
I thank Senator Ricketts for those very clear remarks that demonstrate exactly why this needs to be done. I myself for a long time have hoped to see our European partners wake up to the extreme threat that we all face from a nuclear Iran…
