On Tuesday night, the American people were once again reminded that Donald Trump is not only fighting the Democrats but an entrenched system that is using lies and lawfare to stand in the way of making America great again. As Republicans, we are all too familiar with how our candidates are forced to debate not […]
Six years ago, Reclaim Idaho promised the people of Idaho that Medicaid Expansion would only cost around $400 million a year and that, since it was mostly covered by the federal government, it would be practically free. Today, taxpayers are shelling out many times that amount, and with the national debt now over $35 trillion, […]
In Idaho, we love our veterans. The men and women who wear our country’s uniforms, who sacrifice their time, energy, and even their lives to defend our way of life deserve all the gratitude we can give them and more. Republicans have always done their best to honor and support those who have served. We […]
This week, presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris chose Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate. This decision offers a stark contrast between the country we love and what the Democrats have planned. Minnesota under Governor Walz is a vision of the dystopian future a Harris/Walz administration would impose on America. Under Walz, Minnesota […]
Shortly after President Donald Trump left office in 2021, representatives of various conservative think tanks drafted a list of priorities for the next Republican administration. They called it “Project 2025” because that is when a new Republican president will be inaugurated. Think tanks routinely engage in this kind of planning. While politicians focus on campaigning, […]
Were you surprised by President Joe Biden’s announcement that he would not be running for reelection? I know many people expected something like that, yet it was strange to see it happen in real time. After his disastrous performance in last month’s debate with Donald Trump, many prominent Democrats began calling for Biden to step […]
What a week! I’m writing to you from the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where Idaho’s 32 delegates proudly cast their votes for the next President of the United States, Donald J. Trump! America is in a rough place right now. The American Dream seems further out of reach than ever before. Inflation has […]
Did you know that most laws passed by the Legislature took effect on July 1? Several key pieces of legislation, carried by our dedicated Republican lawmakers, are now in place, and I want to share a few of them with you. Remember when the Biden Administration called concerned parents “domestic terrorists” because they dared speak […]
Next week, delegates from across the Gem State will gather at the Coeur d’Alene Resort for the 2024 Idaho GOP State Convention. This biennial event unites representatives of the Republican grassroots to conduct party business and celebrate the values that bind us together. Delegates and guests will have the chance to meet like-minded individuals from […]
Every two years, the Idaho Republican Party asks primary candidates to sign the Integrity in Affiliation Form. This simply asks if candidates have read and support the Idaho State Constitution and the Idaho Republican Platform. Sounds simple, but nothing is ever simple in today’s media and political environment. Some, apparently troubled with the notion of […]
In 1854, Americans from all walks of life gathered in churches, schoolhouses, and community centers to build what would become the Republican Party. Our party has always worked best when authority and legitimacy come from the ground up rather than the top down. My election as Chair at the 2022 State Convention in Twin Falls […]
We live in perilous times. With the threat of war abroad and a literal invasion taking place on our southern border, we desperately need leaders who will speak the truth and hold those in power to account. Earlier this week, the Idaho House of Representatives had an opportunity to make a strong statement that the […]
