Representative Mike Simpson

Congressman Simpson's Weekly Recap

August 20th, 2023

Dear [salutation],

As Idaho's only appropriator, I have a unique position to fight for Idahoans' priorities through Community Project Funding (CPF). Check out my latest CPF op-ed on the Peregrine Fund's World Center for Birds of Prey below!

Great news! The Stanley to Redfish Trail is officially OPEN. Building this trail was an important piece in the Boulder-White Clouds compromise, and it will positively impact recreation on our federal lands and the local economy for years ahead.

I'd like to welcome Idaho's Second District students and teachers back to school. I wish all our students, teachers, and parents a great school year.

ICYMI: My Latest CPF Op-Ed

For years, the Peregrine Fund's World Center for Birds of Prey has needed workforce housing improvements and an updated local access road.

With more than 50,000 annual visitors and round-the-clock staff that helps conserve the endangered California condor, this funding is essential. I am proud to support this valuable project.

Stanley to Redfish Trail is OPEN

I am pleased to see the opening of the Stanley to Redfish Trail. The Stanley community and visitors worldwide now have a trail to enjoy for years ahead.

I commend the U.S. Forest Service, the Sawtooth National Recreation Area staff, and Stanley Mayor Steve Botti. Their dedication and commitment to this project are greatly appreciated.

Welcome Back to School, ID-02!

As school begins across Idaho’s Second District, I wish all our students, teachers, and parents a successful and productive school year ahead.

Welcome back to school!
