Dear [salutation],

From Idaho Falls to Boise, it was a great week spent in Idaho's Second District! Do you want to see a day in the life as a member of Congress traveling around the district? Watch this video!

I was pleased to celebrate the achievements of the Idaho congressional nominee candidates for United States Military Academies earlier this week at Gowen Field. Congratulations to these hard-working students—I wish them the very best in their future endeavors.

In case you missed it: Last week, I wrote an op-ed regarding my priorities as I return as Chairman of the House Interior and Environment Appropriations Subcommittee. You can find the full op-ed below.

Working on Behalf of Idaho's Second District

I always enjoy spending time in Idaho's Second District and meeting with constituents. It was a productive week across our great state, and I appreciated the opportunities to sit down and chat with Idahoans.

Looking forward to having more important meetings with Idahoans soon!

Honoring U.S. Military Academies Nominees

Our nation's military academies provide students with an excellent opportunity to serve our country while pursuing a higher education. It is one of my great honors every year to nominate Idaho students to have this experience and become the next generation of military leaders.

Thank you to the nominees and their families for attending this wonderful reception to honor the outstanding Idaho students.

ICYMI: My Latest Op-Ed

As Chairman of the House Interior and Environment Appropriations Subcommittee, I remain committed to protecting programs vitally important to Idaho and the West and working directly with the Trump administration to rein in unnecessary spending and restore fiscal responsibility.
