This Fourth of July we have so much to celebrate: freedom, sacrifice, and a renewed ability to spend this holiday together.
Kathy and I want to wish you all a Happy Independence Day! Let us remember the sacrifice many have offered to preserve the freedoms we enjoy today.
Whatever you do to celebrate this weekend, be safe and God Bless!
Newborn Screening Saves Lives Reauthorization Act
As a cosponsor of the bill, I was happy to see the Newborn Screen Saves Lives Reauthorization Act pass the House.
The Science is clear: early detection of treatable conditions in newborn babies can dramatically improve prognoses and give families a head start in managing and overcoming health concerns.

#RecreateResponsiblyIdaho
The National Interagency Fire Center in Boise has projected an above normal fire risk over the next month.
85% of wildfires are human caused - meaning we can prevent these disasters! Please do your part by recreating responsibly, planning ahead, and being prepared!
With such a high risk of fire, the Bureau of Land Management-Idaho is restricting the use or possession of fireworks on ALL BLM managed public lands in Idaho.
ready.gov is a great resource for learning how to prepare for natural disasters. Although many people work hard to prevent the spread of wildfires, preparation is an important first step for safety.
