Ensuring that only citizens vote in our elections requires using the best tools available. SAVE is an important part of that process in Idaho, giving us the information we need to protect both election integrity and due process.

Read my full opinion in the Wall Street Journal:

We’ve used it to find noncitizens who were on our voter rolls.

🚨 Today's the deadline!

Today is the last day to preregister to vote AND request an absentee ballot for the November 3 General Election.

✅ Save time at the polls! Register ahead of time at VoteIdaho.gov.

Miss the deadline? You can still register at the polls on Election Day with an acceptable photo ID and proof of residence. For most Idahoans, a current Idaho driver's license serves as both!

I recently had the opportunity to visit the Idaho Youth Challenge Academy in Pierce (NGYCP-Idaho Youth ChalleNGe Academy) alongside Major General Tim Donnellan, Adjutant General of Idaho, to learn more about the program.

The Academy provides young Idahoans who have dropped out of high school or are at risk of doing so with a second chance. Through a structured residential program that combines education, leadership development, physical fitness, and practical life skills, cadets work toward their educational goals while building the confidence and discipline to succeed in the future.

Set against the beautiful landscape of Pierce, the Academy offers a unique Idaho experience. One of the highlights of our visit was speaking directly with cadets and hearing firsthand about their experiences, what they’ve learned, and the progress they’re making.

I was equally encouraged by the passion and commitment of the Academy’s leadership and staff. Their dedication to Idaho’s youth and the future of our state was evident throughout our visit.

Thank you to Major General Donnellan and the entire team for the warm welcome and for sharing more about the important work happening. Investing in Idaho’s next generation means helping young people see what’s possible for their future.

Reflecting on our inaugural Idaho Free Speech Summit, it was an incredible day filled with thoughtful discussions and meaningful conversations.

Thank you to Utah Governor Spencer Cox for joining us and sharing his perspective on how we can disagree better while respecting different viewpoints.

Free speech is fundamental to our republic, and protecting it means creating space for open dialogue, respectful debate, and the exchange of ideas. These conversations are important, and they must continue.

Thank you to all our panelists, partners, and organizers who helped make this impactful event possible. Here’s to continuing the conversation!
