Dear [salutation],


This week, my Twin Falls office held its first-ever Veterans Resource Fair. It was our pleasure to welcome and help out some of Idaho's local heroes. To be updated on similar future events, be sure to watch for emails, social media posts, and text messages.

Veterans Resource Fair 


 

This year's first-ever Veterans Resource Fair was a success! Thank you to my staff and the local federal agencies and programs for attending and ensuring our great veterans are taken care of. 


If you are a veteran who needs assistance navigating the VA, please contact us at (208) 734-7219 or at simpson.house.gov. 




 

Congratulations, Victoria!


 

It was a great week spent in Idaho's Second District. One of this week's highlights was officially meeting Victoria Djidjev, the 2023 Congressional App Challenge Winner. It was fantastic to learn more about Victoria's app, AquaPulse, which serves as an advanced avenue for water system data.


Idaho's Second District is very proud of you!







 

ICYMI: My Latest Op-Ed


 

The Biden administration’s open-border policies have fueled crime, undermined public safety, and overwhelmed our federal, state, and local law enforcement officers. Never have I seen such a crisis on our southern border, and it is deeply troubling that the Biden administration denies there’s a problem. Better yet, this administration insists that they don’t “bear responsibility” for this crisis. The sad truth is President Biden, and his administration are responsible, and they have no desire to reverse their misguided policies.
