Dear [salutation],
Farmers in Idaho and nationwide received great news earlier this week when President Trump announced $12 billion in aid for American farmers. This administration is standing with America's farmers by working to rebuild the farm economy and provide relief from years of the Biden administration's failed policies.
Also, this week, I enjoyed having the opportunity to visit and tour the Idaho National Laboratory with Department of Energy Secretary Chris Wright before returning to DC. I may be biased, but as Secretary Wright wrapped up his visits to all 17 Department of Energy National Laboratories, I believe he saved the best for last!
Last but not least, it was a great week for Idaho communities on the House floor. As a longtime supporter of the Secure Rural Schools Program, I was thrilled to see the Secure Rural Schools Reauthorization Act pass the House and head to President Trump's desk. Nearly two-thirds of Idaho is public land, which means a vast majority of rural counties throughout the state depend on the SRS Program.
Additionally, passing the National Defense Authorization Act is critical for America's national defense and our brave servicemembers' quality of life. Idaho is home to Gowen Field and Mountain Home Air Force Base, hosting thousands of our service members. I will always support our service members – especially those stationed in Idaho.
