Dear [salutation],

Whether it's Bidenomics or Kamalanomics, the Biden-Harris economic agenda is a failure. However, it is not just their economic policies that have impacted Americans' lives. Look at their failed border policies - where there have been nearly 10 million illegal immigrant encounters nationwide.

And if things weren't bad enough, a new report shows that nearly 100 illegal immigrants on the terror watchlist have been released into the United States under the Biden-Harris administration.

Another week, another Community Project Funding update! I am pleased to announce that we are one step closer to securing critical funding for the Bonneville County Sheriff’s Office Radio Improvement Project and the Idaho Accelerator Center Upgrades Project in Pocatello. You can read more about these projects below.

Border Security = National Security

As President Biden's border czar, VP Kamala Harris owns this administration's failed open border policies. Every state—including Idaho—is a border state. Why?

Answer: The Biden-Harris administration's open-border policies.

Under their leadership, there have been:

❌OVER 9.9 million illegal immigrant encounters nationwide

❌OVER 350 people stopped on the terror watchlist at the Southern Border

❌OVER 1.8 million known gotaways

House Republicans are working to reverse these failed policies, secure our border, and deliver real solutions to the American people. Listen to what I have to say here.

Bonneville County Sheriff’s Office Radio Improvement Project

First responders across southeastern Idaho work tirelessly to serve and protect our communities. However, their efforts are at risk by outdated radio repeaters, which pose a significant danger to lives, property, and response times during emergencies. This funding, which would upgrade the base station repeaters used by five counties, is essential to enhancing communication efficiency and safety. I am proud to support this project and ensure Idaho’s first responders have access to reliable and modern communication tools when responding to crises.

ISU's Accelerator Center Upgrades Project

Idaho State University and its researchers are building a remarkable capability to produce medical isotopes at the Idaho Accelerator Center. The University addresses a long-term demand, positioning Pocatello as a national hub for this critical medical technology. As a longtime supporter of the Idaho Accelerator Center, I have been proud to secure funding for this facility throughout my time in Congress. I am pleased this year’s funding will continue to help the center meet our nation's demand for medical isotopes and significantly advance nuclear research.
