Lest We Forget

I have only met Brad Little a few times. He is a gentleman and a good family man. He has grown a family business and made a home for he and his children and grandchildren. These are all great accomplishments that are far more important than anything one can accomplish in the world of politics. […]

Op-Ed: The Medical Freedom Act

Bodily autonomy is perhaps the most fundamental natural right we have. Without control over what goes into our own bodies, “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” become impossible.

Governor Little is Dodging DOGE in Idaho

In response to the Governor’s State of the State Address

Like many of you, I watched Governor Brad Little’s State of the State address this afternoon hoping to hear him promote smaller government and fiscal responsibility, values that conservative Republicans hold dear.

What Surprises will this year’s Legislative Session bring?

I’m sure most Idahoans will be curious to see just our legislators have in store for us in 2024. Maybe some tax cuts? Don’t count on it.
