Sen. Risch NEVER misses a high-dollar D.C. dinner, yet the moment Idaho constituents ask for a meeting? Suddenly, he’s booked solid.

It's time for term limits.
Career politicians are more corrupt and less interested in what their voters need.
I've taken the pledge to support a Constitutional amendment for term limits and commit to serve no more than 2 terms as Idaho's US senator

Are we going to have any hearings on this @SenatorRisch ?
The Executive branch is pushing us toward war in Venezuela. You’re chair of Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Where the hell are you?
The Founders were clear on your Constitutional duty and it’s not stay silent

It’s been 6,160 days, or nearly 17 years, since Senator Risch has held a real, public, in person town hall. We don’t count any of the heavily-screened telephone town-halls we’ve spooked him into hosting, where he doesn’t have to face the very people he’s “represented” for almost two decades.

The government is opening soon: no more excuses. Release ALL of the Epstein Files!
We demand justice for the young girls abused by Epstein and his powerful friends. Nobody gets a pass; that is how justice should work in America.

Happy Veterans Day
Gathering with fellow vets at the USS Boise memorial to honor the 107 killed at the Battle of Cape Esperance near Guadalcanal, Oct 11-12, 1942. The Boise would sink 6 Japanese ships before a shell nearly sank her. 12% of the Boise’s crew died in that fight

This Veterans Day, I want to honor seven sons of Nezperce who gave everything for our country in World War II. These brave men served until their last breath and define the very best of America. I learned their stories during my SUTS tour at the BRYC Post #8 American Legion.

This was my first unit—2nd Platoon, Bravo Company, 3/69 Armor—training with the Kuwaiti Army in 1992
We came from every corner of this great nation: from Maine to California, Washington to Puerto Rico. No one asked about politics, it didn’t matter
What mattered was the flag on our shoulder

Thanks POTUS!
Antimonopoly action against the Big 4 meatpackers is long overdue. There is clear evidence they collude to push down prices on Idaho ranchers and raise prices on consumers - keeping all the profit for themselves.

In one vote on July 7th, Senator Risch gave Google, the most profitable corporation in our country, a $13B tax cut, while at the same time eliminating the tax credit for working Idahoans to afford health care and now premiums have skyrocketed making health care unaffordable for Idahoans.

Outstanding veterans day event at Idaho @farmbureau in Pocatello.
Great to hang out with fellow vets like Jim (23 years Navy seabee), Dave (4 years Navy), George (21 years USAF), Duff (4 years USAF), and Mike (23 years Army)

What do these two politicians have in common?
They are both 82
They were both first elected in 1970
They both have a net worth of tens of millions of dollars.

In the Army, we learned to lead from the front.
Idaho deserves a robust leader who is up for the job. Senator Risch shouldn’t be afraid of
that kind of work, but at 82 years old and with nearly 50 years in elected office, he doesn’t want to listen to Idahoans. #retirerisch

Why didn’t Sen. Risch, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, know more about the details of the new Qatari facility at Mountain Home Air Force Base? He’s held or been part of countless meetings with Qatari officials since 2018.

Idahoans, Beware! Jim Risch is all tricks, no treat! You don't have to worry about him stopping by your doors tonight, though - he hasn't held an in-person town hall in 16 years.
Have a safe and happy Halloween, Idaho! 🎃

After more than a decade "representing" Idaho in the U.S. Senate, Jim Risch remains largely unknown to the people he serves. Recent polls reveal both deep dissatisfaction with leadership and a startling lack of recognition.

Who is the true Republican?
Sen Risch and Sen Crapo are NOT supporting Sen Hawley’s (R-MO) bill to keep SNAP funded. 14 Rep senators support it but not Idaho’s
Once again, Idaho’s senators do the opposite of what Idahoans need
I'm with Hawley

Spot the Difference: One of these guys embodies corporate America — power-hungry, greedy, oppressive, and exploitative for personal gain and wealth.
The other is Mr. Burns from the animated TV show The Simpsons. Both have been described as thoroughly petty and absurdly old.

I served as an Army tank commander, and now I’m leading a new mission: to take back Idaho. While career politicians like Jim "Richy" Risch cash their checks and look the other way, working families are barely hanging on.
Costs are going up, wages are stuck, and Idahoans are suffering.
