Our Veterans should never be treated differently from other Americans simply because they rely on a fiduciary to help manage their VA financial benefits due to a disability.

The Veterans 2nd Amendment Protection Act, H.R. 1041, would permanently prohibit the Department of Veterans Affairs from reporting Veterans to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) list unless a court order is issued.

This legislation protects the Constitutional due process rights of Veterans, and I am glad to have supported its passage on the House floor.

It is parents—not the education system—who have the ultimate authority over their children’s upbringing.

H.R. 2616 protects parental notification and agreement regarding important decisions affecting students in K-12 schools.

This legislation also ensures that the primary focus in classrooms is on education—not the promotion of personal political or ideological agendas without parents’ knowledge.

I’m proud to support this commonsense bill and glad to share that it has passed the House.

On this Memorial Day, let us take time to reflect and remember the men and women who laid down their lives in defense of our nation.

May we always honor their selfless sacrifice and unwavering commitment to protecting the freedoms we are blessed to have in America today. God bless.

Another critical measure achieved in the House’s 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act is language prohibiting the federal government from implementing a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) through 2030.

A CBDC threatens the financial privacy of every single American, and I will continue to fight to ensure this provision is made permanent.

There is excellent news for American homebuyers.

The bipartisan 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act is one step closer to becoming law after passing the House once again and heading back to the Senate.

This legislation helps make homeownership more attainable for hardworking families by cutting costly regulations, advancing reforms to encourage affordable housing construction, and leveling the playing field for everyday buyers by limiting large institutional investors from purchasing single-family homes in bulk.

I’m proud to vote yes on this bill and look forward to its enactment.

I have voted in favor of the MilCon-VA appropriations bill, the first appropriations bill to pass the House for Fiscal Year 2027.

Having the backs of those who serve—and those who have served—our nation must always remain a national priority.

This week in D.C., I had the privilege of speaking with a group of young Idahoans from Capital Church in Meridian.

We shared a meaningful conversation about faith, community, and the values that guide us in our respective vocations.

Idaho’s future is bright with these rising young leaders!

Idaho has already shown what’s possible with geothermal energy.

Now it’s time to bring that same innovative vision nationwide.

My latest OP-ED “Geothermal, The Energy Powerhouse Idaho Already Understands” at the link below.

By U.S. Congressman Russ Fulcher (Idaho-01) Geothermal has the potential to be an energy powerhouse for America. This abundant, clean natural resource rests right beneath our feet, largely untapped across the nation, but not in Idaho. Today, Boise is home to the largest municipally operated geotherm...
