Fun evening on the Silver Creek. The Drake hatch was epic! A lot of fish in my net, however, none over over 12” 🤣. If you haven’t experienced the Drake hatch in the Silver Creek, you need to. It’s special. We’re lucky that we live so close to experience it…

Although I didn’t have a primary opponent, I’m grateful to the voters of District 21 for your support today. I’m honored and excited to represent our party in the general election this November.

I also want to congratulate several friends and colleagues on their big wins tonight, you know who you are. This was a hard-fought, messy primary season. Which makes your success all the more meaningful. I’m glad to see your hard work and perseverance pay off…

How about we take a couple minutes today and get the data that everyone is waiting to see. I can’t imagine it’s that difficult to get…

State officials say they’re still processing applications. It’s unclear what additional data will be released in the coming months.

I had the opportunity to speak at the monthly meeting this evening to talk about SJM 111, Idaho Public Lands. Let’s keep public lands in public hands! Also, I learned a lot about bamboo fly rods. If you had a second, give a look. Impressive…
