As many of you know, last month I decided to suspend the campaign. In order to make sure our vendors are made whole and that we can actually officially withdraw from the race we need to raise the money to satisfy the financial obligations of the campaign.

After much consideration and many conversations with my family and my supporters, I have made the difficult decision to exit this race and focus where I think I can have a larger impact. Thank you to all of my strong supporters, donors, and volunteers. I appreciate you all so much. #RothForIdaho

There were some great discussions in Mud Lake yesterday, talking with other leaders about the water issues affecting our state and the impacts of drought and data centers. There is a unique relationship in Idaho between groundwater and surface water.

Idaho has the fourth-highest rate of uninsured children in the country. Not somewhere else. Here. And yet Jim Risch has voted against expanding healthcare coverage every time he’s had the

I debated Mike Crapo in 2022, and I'm ready to debate Senator Risch in 2026. Debates are critical to our democracy. They give Idahoans a chance to hear directly from candidates about the issues that matter most: healthcare, housing, wages, and our future.

This is about freedom and fairness in the economy. Idaho families and producers shouldn’t be trapped by a handful of giant corporations that set the prices, control the markets, and drain wealth out of our communities. #RuralNewDeal #RothForIdaho

Idaho’s rural communities don’t need lectures or culture-war politics—they need practical investments that keep hospitals open, make housing affordable, strengthen Main Street, and ensure farmers and ranchers can compete against monopolies. #RothForIdaho #IdahoIsRural

In another act of defiance against the checks and balances designed to checks and balances designed to protect the American people from an overreaching executive branch. Since he claims to be the most transparent President ever, what is he trying to hide? 🧵 #RothForIdaho

Trump does not have to turn over presidential records, Justice Department says
In an opinion released Thursday, the DOJ’s Office of Legal Counsel found the 1978 Presidential Records Act was unconstitutional. But the office only offers guidance to the president, it doesn't make law.

The Senate must be more deliberate in its approval of cabinet appointees. It is a critical role of the Senate, and Risch, with his rubber-stamp attitude, has allowed those unfit to hold office to lead important departments. 🧵 #PamBondi #RothForIdaho

After seeing how Trump addressed the nation last night it is clear that he has no intention of sharing real answers with the American people. The Senate, especially our own Senator Risch, has a constitutional duty to hold hearings and get answers for the American people. 🧵 #NoWarInIran #RothForIdaho

By failing to hold Iran War hearings, Idaho's U.S. Sen. Jim Risch abdicates his constitutional duty • Idaho Capital Sun
The U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee has a role to play to hold the executive branch to account, write Noah Carter and Marie Osborn.

Under the House Republicans’ SAVE Act, a military ID wouldn’t be enough to register to vote. Service members risk their lives to defend this country, & they want to strip their voting rights? That is betrayal, not patriotism. 🇺🇸🔥 #NoPayToVoteSaveAct

The SAVE Act is built to trip women up. About 69 million married women have names that do not match their birth certificates, and this bill turns that paperwork into a weapon against their voice. Screw the patriarchy. #SaveActTaxesVoting

FOX NEWS is reporting it. 92,000 jobs gone. Unemployment rising. An economy gutted by chaos, cruelty, and zero strategy. Turns out scapegoating immigrants wasn’t an economic policy after all. #TrumpsJobsSlump​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Congress should work for Idaho—not for lobbyists or personal profit. That’s why I support real congressional reform: term limits, a ban on congressional stock trading, uncapping the House so representation actually matches our population, and real ethics enforcement with real consequences.

Medicare for All means you can see a doctor in Idaho without worrying about surprise bills, medical debt, or whether your job changes your coverage. Rural hospitals stay open, families get peace of mind, and healthcare is treated like the basic right it should be. #MedicareForAll #HealthcareIsARight
