Is the real problem Guns-Drugs or Mental Illness? If you’re a regular reader of the Gem State you know how we have been fighting to get the RINOs out of our state government with only minimal success although this last primary did show us that there is still hope for the future. It is not […]
A few points should be noted about January 6th that won’t be by the media or the committee. The committee is partisan. Never has the minority party not been able to choose their members in a select committee yet Pelosi denied it here. This leaves us with no balance as every member, including Cheney, wants […]
WASHINGTON – Today, Civil Rights and Human Services Subcommittee Republican Leader Russ Fulcher (R-ID) delivered the following remarks, as prepared for delivery, at a subcommittee hearing on holding the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) accountable for over-burdening job creators and not meeting the needs of American workers: […]
Immediately after taking over the House in 2018, Democrats felt emboldened to enact strict regulations and steep fines on law-abiding gun owners. Upon taking office in 2019, I highlighted the increasingly radical bills being put forth by Democrats in Washington; but at that time we had a President who respected the Second Amendment rights of […]
In 1983, Idaho was one of 27 states that petitioned Congress to call an Article V Constitutional Convention (con-con) to add a Balanced Budget Amendment. 34 States needed to make that Call before Congress acts. In 1989, 32 states had applied to Congress to convene a con-con. Still two states short. That year, I brought […]

Levine is one […]

Friends, WE JUST MADE IT OFFICIAL! I will make this announcement brief, but first I have a question for you. Remember when people had hope? Our economy soared to new heights, and our nation’s enemies respected and feared us thanks to bold conservative leadership during the Trump administration. We all remember the pre-Biden grocery prices and our leaders’ support for […]
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Congressman Fulcher voted NO on the over-700 page Democrat bill to federalize the United States election system. The elections bill, with provisions from H.R.1 and H.R.4, has now been inserted into an unrelated bill about NASA leasing authority and re-named H.R.5746, the “Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis Act.” There has been […]
Guest column submitted by U.S. Senator Mike Crapo “Americans are starting to be worried about this. Do you think that this pay‑for of giving the IRS more money to crack down on unpaid taxes is going to stay in the reconciliation bill?” “Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.” –Speaker Pelosi exchange with reporter during weekly press […]
Last Saturday, I announced that I’m running for Congress to replace Mike Simpson in the United States House of Representatives.
