United States Senator for the great state of Idaho and Chairman of @senfinance.
The @WSJ Editorial Board: “Republicans took sensible steps to solve real problems of misuse of taxpayer programs. The 2.8 million double-dippers are another data point that the budget scorekeepers in Congress are overestimating how many Americans would really lose access to…

Great to see Idahoan @AlexAdamsRPh testify before the Finance Committee today on his nomination to fill a key role at @HHSgov. I have no doubt he will make an excellent Assistant Secretary.
The Big Beautiful Bill is a monumental achievement being misrepresented. In my interview on Newstalk 107.9 with Neal Larson and Julie Mason, I set the record straight: this bill makes the Trump tax cuts permanent, delivers historic spending cuts and eliminates fraud in…
As Director of the Idaho Department of Health & Welfare, @AlexAdamsRPh’s approach kept the regulatory burden low while protecting children, the disabled and those who are in need. His expertise will be invaluable if he is confirmed as Assistant Secretary for Family Support at…
Each of the nominees advanced by the Committee today will bring vital experience to their respective roles. I applaud the Committee's action and look forward to each nominee's confirmation by the full Senate.
VOTE RESULT: The Senate Finance Committee advanced the nominations of Joseph Barloon to be a Deputy @USTradeRep and Brian Morrissey to be General Counsel for @USTreasury, each by a vote of 14-13.
If confirmed, @JonMcKernan will be integral to the Administration’s efforts to protect our domestic financial system. He has a demonstrated track record of support for sound regulation and he will be an invaluable partner in congressional efforts to bolster economic growth.
Idaho native @AlexAdamsRPh will play a vital role in supporting some of America’s most vulnerable populations, aiding with foster care and adoption assistance. Dr. Adams’ service as the Director of Idaho’s Department of Health and Welfare has prepared him well to serve as…
Brian Morrissey is well-suited to provide critical legal and policy advice to @SecScottBessent and other @USTreasury officials. He has made it clear he will work closely with Congress to ensure the Department effectively implements all laws. I support his nomination and…
“I will vote in favor of both nominations and encourage all of my colleagues on the Committee to do the same.” – Chairman @MikeCrapo at an executive session to consider Joe Barloon to be a Deputy @USTradeRep and Brian Morrissey to be General Counsel for @USTreasury.
Joe Barloon will work to advance the Unites States’ trade interests at the @WTO as the Administration reestablishes U.S. leadership at the Organization. He will be an incredible advocate for American businesses and farmers and I urge all of my colleagues to join me in…

Payment scam criminals target vulnerable Americans. A coordinated effort focused on ending payment scams is a much-needed strategy to cut off thieves’ lines of manipulation.
Idaho families’ official recognition as ‘Downwinders’ under the expanded RECA program is a long-overdue victory for countless Idahoans who suffered in silence for decades. I recently spoke with @KTVB about the importance of this expansion that has been twenty years in the making.
