It's time for a change

For too long politics has been more about politicians than those of us here in the REAL world. While those in power argue back and forth about issues that have little affect on our daily lives, important legislation never sees the light of day. Who pays the price for that? We do!

Opioids

Opioids

We must invest in harm reduction if we want to reduce overdose deaths.

Gun Reform

In light of the continued gun violence that continues to plague our communities at an alarming rate it has become clear that there is more that needs to be done. We must be willing to take action now. We must pass the universal background checks bill currently waiting for approval in the Senate. In addition I support the other reforms requested by President Biden.

I am so honored to be supporting Habitat for Humanity in Idaho Falls this evening. They are doing some really interesting and innovative things. We have to start thinking outside the box.

Well folks it is the last day of the month and the final quarterly report before November 8th. We are still a little behind our fundraising goal. Anything you could do to help would be appreciated as we work to flip this seat. http://Rothforidaho.org/support

I hear that @MikeCrapo is running ads about his support for veterans. I guess that support falls short of providing necessary medical care.

13 years ago today I purchased my first home. It was a transaction that was only possible due to the first time homebuyer credit. That single transaction changed my financial future for the better. Today too many will never achieve that same dream. We must do better!
