Reprinted with permission of the Idaho Freedom Foundation It’s no exaggeration to say that Idaho taxpayers spend millions of dollars every single day on wasteful and sometimes unconstitutional state-run programs. The Idaho Freedom Foundation’s (IFF) goal is to find and eliminate as many of these programs as possible. To this end, the IFF has submitted recommendations on […]
Reprinted with permission of the Idaho Freedom Foundation The term cognitive dissonance is applied to people who hold two conflicting beliefs in their heads at the same time. In no other public policy is this more apparent than how Idaho has handled the topic of Medicaid expansion to able-bodied adults in Idaho. Let’s provide some […]
We see how Democrat administered cities are in decline. Chicago, San Francisco, Washington DC, Detroit, Los Angeles, New York all experience rising crime rates, economic uncertainty, increased homelessness, and other societal maladies that make those cities unattractive to most Americans. What we don’t see are any effective corrective actions to address these problems. If a […]
Dear Friends, For years, even before I became Attorney General, I’ve traveled the state meeting with Idahoans at county fairs, coffee shops, and kitchen tables. One question I am almost always asked now is “What exactly does the Attorney General do?” It’s a fair question. Most people are rightly focused on their jobs, their families, and […]

There is a divide in the Republican Party. You have the establishment, Neocon Republicans like Mitt Romney, Liz Cheney, Lindsey Graham, and Nikki Haley. Then you have the common-sense conservative “MAGA” Republicans such as Donald Trump, J. D. Vance, Ted Cruz, Kari Lake and Elon Musk. This divide runs all the way from the presidency […]
BOISE, ID — Attorney General Raúl Labrador announced that a federal court dismissed The Satanic Temple’s lawsuit challenging Idaho’s abortion laws with prejudice, marking a significant legal victory for the state after years of litigation. U.S. District Judge David C. Nye ruled that The Satanic Temple’s constitutional claims were legally unsound and could not be saved by […]
Dear Friends, This week we honor the men and women who have worn the uniform in service to our Republic. Veterans Day is a moment to pause and acknowledge the depth of sacrifice that makes our freedoms possible. It’s a debt we can never fully repay, but one we must never forget we owe. For […]
Caring for those less fortunate is one of our God-given responsibilities, as Americans and as human beings. The American people—especially Republicans—have always been generous. Surveys consistently show that conservatives give more money to charitable causes than progressives, and I think there’s a simple reason for that: unlike liberals, we don’t see government as the answer […]
This article courtesy of the Idaho Freedom Foundation As the shutdown of the federal government extends beyond 30 days, the key reasons become apparent: it is about healthcare costs and who pays them. The debate over temporarily expanded healthcare premium subsidies and Medicaid eligibility is really about who pays what. You see, the notion that […]
My name is Brian Lenney, and I represent you in the Idaho State Senate. I took an oath to defend Idaho and America, and I refuse to watch our state be transformed while staying silent. I came to Idaho because it represented everything America used to be. A place where hardworking Americans could raise families […]
Tuesday’s election had some very interesting and positive results, along with a little negative. The grassroots conservative candidates recommended by the Kootenai County Republican Central Committee (KCRCC) swept most of the offices in the county with the exception of Coeur d’Alene and Hayden. Turnout was 28%, which is lower than we would like but more […]
