It's never a good thing when #Idaho lands in the national news.
#Vouchers for private schools - big mistake.

Law enforcement organizations overwhelmingly opposed the bill, arguing it was an overstep by the state and that agencies were already voluntarily cooperating with immigration agents. #idleg #idpol

Bill creates more problems than it solves; was opposed by Idaho law enforcement groups.
#Idleg regularly ignores reason and expertise to pass its culture war bills. #idpol

The Idaho House widely passed a bill to criminalize “willfully” entering public and government bathrooms and changing rooms designated for another sex.
The bill would effectively block transgender people from using their preferred public bathrooms in Idaho. #idleg #idpol

“The voters have it within their power to make these things go away,” Matsusaka says. “The irony is that they’d likely have to pass an initiative on the ballot to do it.” #idpol #idleg

Would Idaho send an Independent to the US Senate? Yes, because we're being ignored. Idaho hasn't had real representation in a long time. It's time to self-rescue. achillesforidaho.com
We desperately need Independents in the U.S. Senate.
Independents would solve a lot of our problems: billionaire donors; corruption; and stagnant party machines.
Let's do it, #Idaho.

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

Bats collected in 2025 from Bonner County, and one bat collected in 2026 from Kootenai County, tested positive for white-nose syndrome. The fungus was previously detected in SE Idaho but this is the first confirmation of the disease in #Idaho. #idpol

Federal officers (ICE) have body armor, guns, zip ties, and massive backup and @CongMikeSimpson thinks they need protection from unarmed peaceful protesters with signs?
Peaceful protesters haven't murdered anyone; they need protection from #ICE.
