The Simpson Standard

June 16th, 2024

 

Dear [salutation],

It was a busy week of Fiscal Year 2025 appropriations markups and meetings here in DC! From meeting with the Idaho Home Builders Association to three students from Victory Middle School who competed in the National History Day contest, I always enjoy meeting with Idahoans in our nation's capital. 


This week, the House passed the Servicemember Quality of Life Improvement and Fiscal Year 2025 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). The FY25 NDAA fully funds America’s national defense, improves servicemember quality of life, fully funds the deployment of National Guard troops at the southwest border, enhances military readiness, and takes important steps to address the security threats America faces from adversaries including China, Iran, and foreign terrorist organizations. I proudly voted YES on this critical legislation. Read my full statement below. 


In case you missed it: This week, I announced my office's upcoming mobile office hours in June and July. The locations of the upcoming events include Glenns Ferry, Arco, Montpelier, Island Park, Dubois, Malad, Gooding, Driggs, Victor, Mountain Home, American Falls, Salmon, Challis, and Hailey, Idaho. More information on the locations and times of the events is listed below.   


 


Victory Middle School Students Meeting


 

I was pleased to meet these three Victory Middle School students who traveled to DC to represent Idaho in the National History Day contest!


More than half a million students enter projects in state and local competitions each year, hoping to compete at the national contest. Idaho is very proud of these three. Thanks for swinging by!



 

NDAA Passes House


 

Equipping our servicemembers with the resources they need and supporting our troops and their families is critical for our nation’s military to meet its mission. 


Our troops work tirelessly to protect our national interests and everyday freedoms, and I am pleased the NDAA honors their sacrifice by prioritizing the needs of those in uniform. This critical piece of legislation shows strong support for Idaho servicemembers, their families, and military families nationwide. I will always fight for those who fight for us, and I was proud to reaffirm that commitment by supporting the NDAA on the House floor.



NDAA PASSES HOUSE
 

ICYMI: June and July Mobile Office Hours


 

Not everyone I represent lives close to one of my three district offices, which is why we are bringing our services directly to them through mobile office hours. Helping veterans and other Idahoans is a top priority of my district offices, and this event is a wonderful opportunity to expand accessibility to those services.
