THIS IS THE PROBLEM. Politicians like Fulcher see elections like a game, instead of as a solemn obligation to the over 1 million people in this district whose lives rely on his decisions Fulcher knows that he can’t defend his voting record, his campaign finances, or the company he chooses to keep.

I hear so many concerns from Idaho voters, that voting for a Democrat will fundamentally change the things we love about Idaho, our way of life. It couldn’t be further from the truth.

Here's how we get Medicare for All done: Make Medicare whole (no one can keep all the parts straight!) Include vision, dental, and hearing. Begin extending to more people, starting with children. We arrive at Medicare for All, which means great Medicare for everyone.

so much fun tonight thank you to all of you who came out ✨ 🖤

Idaho! Absentee ballots started arriving today! If you have questions about candidates or any of the additional questions (Prop 1, HJR 4 etc etc), please ask. I’m happy to lend my opinion and direct you to more information. Deadline to request an absentee ballot is 5pm, Oct 23. Happy voting!

HJR 4 is on your ballot in November, but it was NOT put there by the people of Idaho. It was placed on the ballot by the Legislature, and the goal is to convince you to surrender your voting rights on a sweeping range of issues related to drugs and medicine. No on HJR 4!

Kaylee is running against a literal real estate developer who currently sits on the committee in charge of federal policy on public land management #idpol #Congress2026

"Congress isn’t listening to what Idaho communities or sportsmen need—it’s listening to corporate donors." Eddie and I sat down to talk about what’s happening on the ground here in Idaho.

if that feels hyperbolic to you, here's his bio on the brokerage site where he still works in Idaho my fav part is where he brags about his ability to garner government approvals for development properties

this is a really good read

#Idaho set to become dumping ground for the nation's #NuclearWaste. There is a twist to this story which has received no attention here in Idaho: how much Trump personally stands to gain financially. idahocapitalsun.com/2026/09/09/l... #NuclearLifecycleInnovationCampus #Doublespeak #Graft

Idaho has such a rich history with respect to organized labor. in the mines, in the woods. tradesmen that carved cities into some of the most rugged terrain in the country happy labor day, from the panhandle

I can't believe Zabel hasn't withdrawn her name from the District 1 race. #Idaho #IdPol A three way race favors a Republican win — I've never seen an exception. Today is the last day to withdrawal. Maybe it will still happen. Country above self? ... This would be the time to prove that.

I included all the dialogue to be as transparent as possible, but we’ve been trying to get answers for Idahoans since 2022. I’ve held several dozen town halls, when Fulcher refused… we held empty chair town halls and delivered the testimony straight to his offices.

The Panhandle Health District just appointed a crack pot Dr as Interim Director after the previous Director, head of HR and head of finance ALL quit unexpectedly in the last two weeks. Prepare for chemtrail testing and a lack of understanding of what public health means #publichealth

NEW: For decades, Idaho laws have allowed parents who belong to the Followers of Christ and other faith-healing sects to pray rather than seek medical treatment as their children die. At least five sets of parents have lost multiple children.

Flock Safety announced last week that it will reduce its standard data retention policy and provide more control over local data searches, among other changes. But @ACLU.org's analysis shows many of the proposed changes seem to be largely hollow security promises. More info: tinyurl.com/FlockACLU

I keep talking about the crazy stuff in the Idaho Republican Party platform. There's a reason for that. Most candidates, including my opponent, sign a pledge to uphold it. They may not talk about what's in there publicly, but they have sworn to promote those policies.🧵

I thought this group might be interested in some of the politics behind the scenes faced by wildland firefighters. The texts are from an individual working on the Tartar Fire outside of Weiser, ID. This is nothing new and causes some serious friction when public lands meet private lands. #IdahoFire

Some great news! In Missouri, legislators proposed an amendment to make it much, much harder to pass citizen-led ballot measures. Today, voters defeated the amendment in an 80-20 landslide. Here in Idaho, we must do the same by voting NO on HJR 4 in November!

After casting the tie-breaking vote to eliminate Sandpoint's non-discrimination ordinance, Mayor Jeremy Grimm now admits he acted too hastily. NDOs go beyond bathrooms, providing equity safeguards in employment, housing, and public accommodations. More from @nytimes.com: buff.ly/hCx0NXO

To Democrats and their eulogies: If you say that democracy is under attack by the Republican Party—and it is—and you say that the Republican Party represents an authoritarian threat—and it does—then civility and comity have already been murdered, and shows of comity are utterly incoherent.
