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!

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.

This week in San Francisco a […]
