The Simpson Standard

March 23rd, 2025

 

Dear [salutation],


It was a great week in Idaho's Second District! I was honored to attend the groundbreaking of Chobani’s expansion to their Twin Falls plant and tour Idaho State University with President Wagner. It was an incredible week in the district, and a privilege to connect with many Idahoans. I take my responsibility to the people of Idaho very seriously, actively listen to their concerns, and take their input back to DC.


Like many Americans, I am optimistic about the direction our country is headed, and I am confident that America is on the right track. This week, I wrote an op-ed highlighting how America is once again leading with strength under President Trump's leadership. I am particularly proud that President Trump signed a measure that permanently increased pay for our wildland firefighters, which you can learn more about below.


Congress passed, and President Trump signed the Full-Year Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act. This bill kept our government OPEN and included a permanent pay fix for our brave wildland firefighters—a provision I was proud to fight for.


 

Chobani Expansion Groundbreaking


 

It was an honor to join Chobani for the expansion of its Twin Falls plant!


This addition to Chobani will fuel the economy by creating jobs and strengthening Idaho’s dairy industry. Thank you for your incredible work to support families in the Magic Valley.



 

Visiting Idaho State University


 

I always appreciate the opportunity to visit colleges and universities across our great state.


This week, I had the pleasure of touring Idaho State University and exploring the campus's training and research facilities. Thank you for showing me around!



 

Securing a Permanent Pay Fix for Wildland Firefighters


 

A permanent pay fix for our wildland firefighters will strengthen recruitment and retention while providing financial security to the first responders who protect our communities. I have long fought for this critical provision, and I am grateful to my colleagues and the Trump administration for their support in making it a reality.
