Last Saturday, the unthinkable happened. A gunman opened fire on guests and employees of a Twin Falls In-N-Out Burger, as well as a nearby Tesla charging station. Now, three people are dead, many more are injured, and a community has been shaken to its core. Ashley Garibay was just 23 years old. In-N-Out was her […]
Dear Senators and Representatives The tragedy of this past Saturday’s Twin Falls mass shooting is not limited to just the lives lost and the wounded, but to the fact in Idaho with so many of Idaho’s citizens availing themselves of the right to constitutionally carry firearms that more who were there and who witnessed a […]
The Earth Brokers: Power, Politics and World Development is a book co-authored by Pratap Chatterjee and Matthias Finger, and written in 1994 just after the Rio Summit was held in 1992. It was the “first critical analysis of the Earth Summit and its mission document Agenda 21“. Unfortunately, most countries did not heed the warnings from […]
This summer, Idaho has once again been reminded of the awesome power of wildfire. From the devastating Big Grass Fire in Owyhee County to the fires that have scarred central Idaho in recent years, we have watched homes destroyed, livestock lost, wildlife displaced, and entire communities threatened. Families who have worked the land for generations […]
Dear Friends, Last week I toured the newly completed execution chamber at the Idaho Maximum Security Institution (IMSI) in Kuna. I want to thank IDOC Director Bree Derrick and Division of Prisons Chief Liz Neville for taking the time to walk my team and me through the new facility and answer our questions. What struck […]
My federal lands management survey is now open, and I want to hear directly from Idahoans. Approximately 62 percent of the land within Idaho’s borders is owned and managed by the federal government, and from 2020 to 2025, nearly 2.7 million of those acres experienced some sort of closure to the public. This extensive federal […]
The topic of eliminating Property Tax has been brought up. More than one elected official that I respect has raised it. Personally, I like the idea. I like it from the Constitutional and Liberty point of view. The argument is simple and powerful: if our real property can be taxed, then we, the citizens, do […]
Dear Friends, Last August, an illegal immigrant named Harjinder Singh, licensed to drive by both Washington and California, attempted an illegal U-turn across the Florida Turnpike in an eighteen-wheeler. He could not read or understand the road signs warning him against it and it led to the death of three people. Idaho did not issue […]
This November, Idahoans have a choice to make: keep the Gem State a sanctuary for all life, including preborn babies, or adopt a radical abortion regime even darker than the days of Roe v. Wade. With less than two months until absentee ballots arrive in mailboxes, we have no time to lose when it comes […]
Our failed, teacher’s union-led, largely socialist “education system” has left Americans wholly ignorant of some simple truths of economics (no surprise there): Marxism actually comes in three flavors, all leading to tyranny, and suppressed liberty for non-elites. 1) Democratic Socialism is the “training” phase, like a “drug dealer” giving away “free samples,” knowing you will […]
Dear Friends, In the first six months of 2026, my Consumer Protection Division returned $956,000 to Idaho consumers, without a single lawsuit or court order. That pace puts this year on track to beat 2025, when the division recovered a record $1.1 million through the same voluntary process. Together, the last eighteen months have returned […]
