Last weekend in Pocatello, I ran into Jeremy driving a Ford 9N in the ISU Homecoming parade. I learned to drive on an 9N, so seeing one again took me right back. Thanks, Jeremy, for letting me say hello and take a walk down memory lane!

Today, I signed the DeFlock Idaho Pledge to stop the spread of flock cameras and the dissemination of your personal data. While my opponent, big government Jim Risch cannot commit to protecting your privacy, I have and always will fight to protect Idahoans' individual rights.

Since Jim Risch is too afraid to debate me or answer to voters, let me tell you who he really is and why I’m running against him. After 56 years in office, Risch has nothing to show for it and Idahoans’ lives have only gotten harder. You have the choice this November. It’s time to retire Risch.

Do you know who's funding Jim Risch? I can tell you one thing - it's not Idahoans. Jim voted against the Disclose Act, which would require him to publicly disclose his major donors and curb dark money in federal elections. This guy is just shameless. It's time to bring honesty back to Washington.

Steve Pearce spent decades trying to sell off our federal lands, saying “we do not even need” most of them. Jim Risch voted to put him in charge anyway. Idaho’s public lands aren’t for sale, and they aren’t Risch’s to give away. Not one acre sold on my watch. Public lands in public hands.

There is no reason for a working mom in Blackfoot to be paying more federal income tax than a multi-billion dollar company. When I get to Washington, I am committed to ending corporate socialism and fixing our broken tax code so that Idaho families will no longer pay more than their fair share.

4 Republicans and 3 Democrats on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee told the President that importing Russian diesel violates a law even Jim Risch voted for in 2022. Why isn’t Risch, the chair, on the statement? Is he losing control of his committee, or waiting to see what benefits him most?

I have been calling on Jim Risch to end this Iran War from the beginning. Now Jim Risch is "changing his mind," conveniently while he's trying to get your vote. You can't trust a coward like Jim. Vote November 3rd. bit.ly/3TMJd8H

There is less than a month until election day and I’m calling every Idahoan ready to retire Risch to join me in the final push. You can sign up to volunteer on my website, and become a part of the most competitive Senate campaign Idaho has seen in decades. Let’s do this thing. 🇺🇸

Robyn Achilles has been married to Todd for the last 33 years and can make a true testament to his character of leadership and service. Hear it first hand from the person closest to Todd why he is the best candidate for Idaho's seat in the U.S. Senate. ❤️ 💙

I am honored to have signed the Independent Leadership Council pledge yesterday. This is a commitment to put nonpartisan, practical solutions ahead of party politics and to strengthen opportunity for every Idahoan. I won’t represent Republicans. I won’t represent Democrats. I’ll represent Idaho.

Most of Washington is running for a third or fourth term. I’m putting my limit in writing. Yesterday I signed an irrevocable resignation letter, so I’m accountable from day one. I’ll hit the Senate with my hair on fire, because I only have 12 years to make things better for Idahoans.

Idaho voters will choose an official state gun from six firearms this November, and I'll be voting for the M1 Garand. This is the gun that helped defeat fascism and save democracy. Generations of Idahoans served with it, trained with it, and came home because of it. Vote for the M1 Garand!

Individual liberties, economic freedoms, and the well-being of families. These are things I have always believed in and fought for, and what I will prioritize as Idaho's next senator.

Today, I had the opportunity to speak at the Voter Information Forum hosted by the Rexburg Chamber of Commerce. As the election draws near, it is so important that voters are able to hear from candidates in this kind of setting. It was a pleasure to be on this stage to share my vision for Idaho.

I'm honored to have the support of two former U.S. Attorneys for Idaho, Betty Richardson and Guy Hurlbutt. They come from opposite sides of the aisle but agree: Idaho deserves a Senator who puts the Constitution and country ahead of party. Thank you both! Full statements: bit.ly/4743iKE

Yesterday I was in Twin Falls knocking on doors, putting up yard signs, and supporting our volunteers. Elections are won in the field, and we wouldn't be where we are without the people who have dedicated so much of their time to reaching voters where they are. Thank you to everyone who joined me!

Jim votes again and again to keep us in a war that we should have never been in. His votes result in higher prices, and less opportunity for Idahoans to live out the life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness promised to them at the founding of this country. It's time to retire Risch.

I'm Todd Achilles and I believe in term limits, age limits, and accountability to Idahoans, not the swamp. I will be on your ballot November 3rd, and I hope I can count on your vote to help me retire Jim Risch. Make sure to check your voter registration and make a plan to vote. 🗳️

Attention Rexburg and surrounding areas, I will be visiting on Monday to hold a voter information forum! With 33 days left until the election, this is a great opportunity to learn more about my campaign and decide how you will cast your ballot November 3rd. Hope to see you there!

“No more foreign wars,” they said. Then they spent $45.1 billion of your money on a war that has made us all poorer and less safe — all rubber stamped by your senator, Jim Risch. Don’t stand for it. Let’s bring our soldiers home and send these chicken hawks packing. Link in bio 🔗

If Risch can't defend his record for 90 minutes, he doesn't deserve six more years of Idaho's trust.

This morning, veterans gathered at Headquarters for a flapjack breakfast and morning briefing where we had a conversation about leadership, service, and getting this country back on track. Thank you to all the veterans who came to talk with me - it is an honor have your support.

In it to win it! Idahoans like Francis have officially helped us raise $1million this quarter. We still have 34 days to go. Help us make this last month count. Donate today at secure.numero.ai/contribute/Achille…. Thank you, Idaho!

When we say “no more foreign wars.” do we mean… A. A few more foreign wars B. One more foreign war C. An endless military excursion that we pretend isn’t a war. D. NO MORE FOREIGN WARS. If you answered A,B or C, we regret to inform you that you are probably Jim Risch. Link to retire Risch in bio.

Today at We Are Idaho Meet the Candidates, I talked with teachers, young voters & students about Idaho's affordability crisis, immigration reform, and protecting our public lands. Conversations like these are why I'm running — Idaho deserves a senator who shows up and listens.

Jim Risch has rubber-stamped the war in Iran every step of the way, and as the Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, he hasn't held a single hearing since the start of it. Shame on Risch for putting American soldiers in harms way. That is NOT Conservative. bit.ly/4z1dJdV

This land is OUR land. I grew up on public lands and I raised my daughters on public lands. They are in an incredibly important part of Idaho's spirit, and they belong to the people. So when I say not one damn acre will be sold under my watch, I mean it. Donate at bit.ly/4fKPQkf

Exactly My opponent, 83 y/o Jim Risch, may believe what the AI lobbyists tell him, but I don't. AI is amazing technology, but we won't let a pair of companies, rip off intellectual property and sell a dangerous product.

Last night, I visited Downtown Nampa for the Third Thursday Street Festival celebrating Nampa's birthday. 🎆 I got to shake hands, introduce myself, hear from small local business owners, and hit up the advice parlor. Thank you to the Old Coots for imparting some wisdom on me.

Last time I posted one of these it cost me $118 to fill my van with diesel. Today I paid $131. Over just three weeks, my gas expense has gone up $13. Working families can't afford this. Jim Risch doesn't care. He gets paid to sleep through votes while the rest of us scrape by. #retirerisch
