The Idaho GOP requires their legislators to sign a pledge to uphold the party platform. They don't all comply, but most do. My opponent does.
This platform reads like an AI summary of Project 2025, if the AI was trained on sermons from Westboro Baptist Church. #IDleg #IDpol

An impassioned debate from one of Idaho’s most experienced state legislators brought the Idaho Senate to a standstill Thursday and set the stage for the chamber to kill a budget that would impose budget cuts on health and human services programs. #idleg #idpol

Proving again, perhaps for those in the back plugging their ears like defiant toddlers, that the “modern” extremists in the #idleg are not, in fact “pro-life” at all 🤬
Targeting the most vulnerable amongst us is DEPLORABLE 🤬 That’s what they are good at 😒

If you believe in the freedom to read, tell House State Affairs committee to vote NO on HB819 & HB795

Anyone in #Idaho remember when "MERIT-BASED" teacher pay came into existence and it was based on the OUTCOME of standardized tests? AND NOW, #SchoolChoice is fracturing #publiceducation BUT that lesson is meaningless to #IdLeg— as they approach #EdFunding & #Medicaid
