The Simpson Standard

April 21st, 2024

 

Dear [salutation],


It was a busy week back here in DC! This week, the House passed several important pieces of legislation and resolutions, such as condemning Iran's unprecedented drone and missile attack on Israel. I proudly voted YES on this resolution. You can find out more below. 


In addition to this week's critical legislation, I led two budget hearings for the Department of the Interior and the United States Forest Service. As Chairman of the Interior and Environment Subcommittee, which oversees funding for these agencies, I remain committed to reducing unnecessary federal spending while prioritizing the critical needs and essential functions within the agencies of this subcommittee. 


This week, I had a great meeting with the Idaho Cattle Association. I proudly support Idaho's cattle industry and am proud to work with them in Congress. Learn more about this meeting in Simpson's Ag Corner below. 



 

Standing with Israel


 

This week, House Republicans brought legislation to the floor supporting Israel and holding Iran and its terrorist proxies accountable. Learn more about this legislation in my What's Happening in Washington video below!


House Republicans stand with Israel. I stand with Israel.

Appropriations RECAP


 

This week, I led the Fiscal Year 2025 budget hearings for the Department of the Interior and the United States Forest Service. As Chairman, I remain committed to protecting Idaho and Republican priorities. 


One highlight I'd like to share from the Dept. of Interior budget hearing was questioning Secretary Haaland on the out of touch Lava Ridge Wind Project proposal. You can listen to my remarks here. 



 

Simpson's Ag Corner


 

Idaho's cattle industry plays a significant role in nourishing our state and nation with high-quality beef. 


I always enjoy meeting with the Idaho Cattle Association. We had a great discussion on the important work they are doing and ways Congress can better support this vital industry.
