President Biden's Student Loan Forgiveness Plan

On Wednesday August 25, President Joe Biden announced a plan to  "forgive" up to $20,000 for borrowers of federal student loans. Not only is this plan reckless by adding fuel to the inflationary economy, it is also unfair to the millions of Americans who have worked hard to pay off their own loans. This is a bailout for voluntary borrowers.

VA Disability Benefits Assistance

For veterans who are supported by the Boise VA and need help with disability benefits, their office is offering in-person and virtual appointments. 

Please share this information with the veterans you know. Especially those who could benefit from this service. 

As your Congressman, I want to help and serve my constituents in any way that I can, including improving your experience with federal agencies. Whether it's the IRS, Department of State, VA, or Social Security Administration, many Idahoans (including our veterans) regularly interact with federal agencies. Sometimes these interactions result in issues that can create frustrations or delays in distributing benefits. I try to help my constituents by communicating with federal agencies about these issues. 

If you or anyone you know needs help, please contact any of my district offices or click on the link below.
