Had a great visit at Western States CAT. We discussed permitting reform and why it's one of the most consequential actions Congress and the Trump Administration can take to unleash American energy and drive down costs.

The time is now to enact policies that streamline the permitting process!

I toured the new Idaho National Guard readiness center in Jerome, which was recently dedicated to honor a dear friend of mine and former Governor Dirk Kempthorne.

As a longtime supporter of this facility, I proudly secured $15 million in community project funding to construct the readiness center. This will soon become home to Idaho’s 145th Light Support Battalion.

Expanding educational opportunities and developing training for the rural workforce are among my top priorities. I look forward to seeing this center come to life and serve our community for many years to come.

I’m proud to represent the world’s leading nuclear lab and applaud everyone at INL for their incredible work to help unleash the nuclear renaissance.

America's rivers are the arteries of the United States. Team Simpson recently had the opportunity to float and fly fish down Spring Creek.

There is truly nothing better than enjoying the great outdoors and all Idaho has to offer!
