As of 2025, there were approximately 700 registered paid lobbyists in Idaho, consisting of 392 in-state and 300 out-of-state individuals representing more than 650 corporations, businesses, and special interest groups. The Idaho legislative session lasts about three months each year and in the final weeks of every session, there tends to be an unfortunate rush […]
As President Donald Trump and DOGE push for reforms at the federal level, many large corporations are shifting their influence and strategies to the state level. This shift is particularly evident in Idaho, where corporate lobbyists and industry associations are playing an increasingly dominant role in funding and influencing legislators to shape legislation. Legislation that […]
Grassroots action is the heartbeat and lifeblood of political change across our country. These local efforts often spark the first waves of reform, persevere through challenges, and rarely receive the credit they deserve. Too often, national organizations swoop in, piggybacking on grassroots wins, claiming victory, and shifting the focus to their own agendas. Picture this: […]
Are you ready for Idaho to go “woke,” be forced to wear masks, get fully vaccinated and become a good global citizen? If not, I encourage you to go vote on Tuesday, May 17th, and bring 10 of your like-minded friends to do the same. Idaho is in a perfect storm and if citizens don’t […]

I […]
Is the State of Idaho being complacent, manipulated, or purposely implementing a plan to relinquish our State sovereignty? Idahoans are, and have always been, a different type of people. Rugged, self-sufficient, and independent, we love our beautiful state and believe it is the best place in the country to live. We believe in law and […]
Last week in the Idaho House Health and Welfare Committee, after much debate and controversy, an administrative rule was passed by a 7-6 vote to mandate 12th-grade high school students receive the Meningococcal vaccine. This rule is not required to be heard or debated by the entire body of the Idaho House or Senate and […]
The Final Weeks of the 2017 Legislative Session and Bill Reading in the House It is sad to report that the House continues to operate in the status quo of “never enough time to do it right but always time to do it over”. As the tentative March 24th session deadline drew closer, there was […]
Idaho State Representatives Judy Boyle, Heather Scott, and Sage Dixon were among a group of western state legislators who traveled to Burns, Oregon last Saturday (January 8, 2016) on a fact finding mission.

Administrative Rules are rules (or Idaho Code) written by bureaucrats and government agencies (Executive Departments) throughout the year that will be presented, reviewed and approved by the Idaho Legislature at the beginning of every session.
