ACHIEVMENTS From the 2025 Legislative Session:

SIGNED INTO LAW!

• I sponsored a bill to take a proactive stance against the adoption of Socialist "Universal Basic Income" programs in Idaho's cities and counties, ensuring our state remains a beacon of individual responsibility and free-market capitalism (H572a)

SIGNED INTO LAW!

• We empowered our police and legal teams with greater authority in sentencing fentanyl traffickers, taking a firm stand against this deadly crisis... (H406)

SIGNED INTO LAW!
