Dear [salutation],

This week, I visited Redfish Lake and got an overview of the Bench Lake Fire suppression efforts. I'm incredibly impressed with the dedication and hard work of the firefighting teams. Their efforts have been crucial in preventing further destruction.

Big news unfolded this week as Judge Cannon—the federal judge overseeing the case alleging President Trump mishandled classified documents—moved to dismiss the case. I released an op-ed in response to the dismissal and why the lawfare campaign against President Trump continues to fall apart.

FYI: Next week, my team will be in Salmon, Challis, Bellevue, and Hailey for mobile office hours. I encourage Idahoans to stop by with their questions and see how we can help with constituent services!

Visiting Redfish Lake

I recently visited Redfish Lake and received an overview of the suppression efforts on the Bench Lake Fire. I appreciate the work of the firefighting teams in preventing more extensive damage.

Thank you to all the brave Forest Service employees who work tirelessly to keep this beloved Idaho treasure safe.

The Lawfare Campaign Against President Trump Continues to Fall Apart

From facing multiple legal challenges to then attempting to take President Trump’s name off the ballot, it is crystal clear the Left has weaponized our judicial system against the former President. But what Americans see unfold in real-time is an unhinged lawfare campaign falling apart while the rule of law prevails.

Read the full op-ed here.

Upcoming Mobile Office Hours

As your Representative in Congress, it is important to me that residents of Idaho's Second Congressional District have the resources to navigate the complexities of federal agencies and benefits.
