The Simpson Standard

May 12th, 2024

 

Dear [salutation],


Our country is facing a crisis of suicide - particularly among our veterans. Growing awareness about veterans' mental health is critical, and I am proud to cosponsor legislation that looks at the factors that best prevent veteran suicide. Read more about the Not Just a Number Act below. 


I am proud to announce—in coordination with Senators Crapo and Risch, Congressman Fulcher, and the U.S. Department of State—six Passport Fairs to be held throughout Idaho from May 29th to June 1st. These fairs will help Idahoans with their passport needs closer to home. 


ICYMI: I questioned Interior Secretary Haaland on the out of touch Lava Ride Wind Project. I have yet to talk to ONE Magic Valley resident who supports this project. Yet, the Biden administration is continuing their approach to ram through renewable energy projects that lack local support. This approach doesn't fly in Idaho. As Chairman of the Interior and Environment Appropriations Subcommittee, I remain committed to ensuring Idahoans' voices are heard. 


 

Happy Mother's Day!


 


 

Not Just a Number Act


 

I am proud to cosponsor the bipartisan Not Just a Number Act, legislation to require the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to take a more comprehensive look at the factors that best prevent veteran suicide.

Not Just a Number Act
 


Passport Fairs


 

The Idaho Delegation recognizes the high demand for passport services within Idaho's fast-growing population. Without a permanent passport office in-state, events like the Passport Fairs will help Idahoans obtain expedited passport services closer to home. 


More information can be found below. Please call my Twin Falls office for any additional questions: 208-734-7219



 


ICYMI: Standing AGAINST Lava Ridge


 

Despite numerous concerns voiced by Congress and Magic Valley residents, the BLM is adamant about trampling Idahoans with their out of touch Lava Ridge Wind Project proposal.


The people of the Magic Valley have been loud and clear. The BLM must reverse course. Read more here and watch the full interaction here.
