My bill, the KEEP Act, will eliminate the federal income tax on overtime pay. When Americans choose to work overtime to support their family, they should be able to keep more—not less—of their paycheck!
It was a pleasure to meet with Raya Kenney, the Executive Director of the WWII Women's Memorial Foundation. Rosie the Riveters were vital to the war effort during WWII. In Idaho, civilian women worked and volunteered at the Farragut Naval Training Station in North Idaho.…
In today’s digitized economy, preserving Americans’ financial privacy and economic freedom is critical—and that starts by preventing any attempt at a federal government-controlled digital currency. My colleagues and I on the @freedomcaucus fought fervently for this throughout…

I voted to advance the FY26 Defense Appropriations Act. This legislation includes an amendment I co-sponsored to ensure our incoming F-16s continue to have a steady supply of parts, reinforcing U.S. air superiority and readiness. The United States has the most lethal,…
The $9 billion recessions package represents a critical step toward restoring fiscal responsibility in D.C. I voted yes on this legislation, again, which, after Senate passage this week, now becomes law. While this rescissions package is a start, more needs to be done to…
I am pleased to share the bipartisan Hydropower Licensing Transparency Act, H.R. 3657, has passed the House. Hydropower is foundational to the Northwest’s energy system. Proud to have co-led this bill, which will strengthen our nation’s energy portfolio to meet growing demand.

Today, I took to the House floor to honor two of Idaho’s bravest who we lost way too soon during an appalling ambush attack in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. Their courage, heroism, dedication, and legacies will never, ever be forgotten.
.@RepBaumgartner presided. Chaplain Kibben offered the opening prayer. The Journal was approved. @RepRussFulcher led the House in the Pledge of Allegiance. The Chair received a message from the Senate that it passed H.R. 1815 without amendment. The House is proceeding with…

The U.S. Treasury has reported a budget surplus of $27 billion for the month of June—the first time since 2017. This is excellent news for our economy and a signal that President Trump’s pro-growth policies are on the right track! cnbc.com/2025/07/11/tre…
One year ago this week, in an event that could have changed the course of American history, President Trump survived an attempted assassination. By the grace of God, he endured. He fought, and he continues to fight on behalf of the American people. We thank God for His hand of…
"It's remarkable to think that it was only one year ago this week that my time on earth nearly ended...Some people say it was lucky and some people say something else—I say something else. I think God helped us." - President Donald J. Trump
In Boise, my team and I met with the leadership at the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC). @NIFC_Fire plays a fundamental role in coordinating our nation’s wildfire response and ensuring that federal, state, and tribal wildland personnel have the resources, intelligence,…
Honoring our Veterans means ensuring dignity and respect in the care they receive from the VA. I am proud to be an original co-sponsor of the Veteran Burial Timelines and Death Certificate Accountability Act. This bill requires VA clinicians to provide timely, important…
President Trump has issued an Executive Order—which builds upon Congress’s H.R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill—to terminate Biden-era wind and solar subsidies. Idaho taxpayers should not be footing the bill for unreliable, expensive energy sources that strain our electric grid…
Coming up this morning on @KIDOTalkRadio #Idaho Political Insider Mike Tracy @RepRussFulcher and Billy Jenkins from #Texas #radio #America
The Marine Corps and AFRICOM have been clear—they need additional secure communications to counter terrorism and strengthen U.S. national security. H.R. 1737, the DiasporaLink Act, directly addresses this need and would provide the United States with critical insights to…
H.R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill, is officially LAW. It was an honor to stand beside @POTUS, @SpeakerJohnson, and congressional colleagues during this historic signing ceremony. This legislation delivers for Idaho and America. Specifically, it: ✅ Incorporates my bill,…
