That is why I recently introduced legislation to address this issue early and responsibly. The rat abatement bill is focused and practical. It declares invasive rats a public nuisance under existing Idaho law and improves coordination and reporting so the problem can be addressed quickly.

The present monetary arrangements of the United States are unconstitutional --even anti-constitutional—from top to bottom.

Every bill we introduce is designed to enhance the sovereignty, safety, sanity, and health of our state. Likewise, we will fight against any poor legislation that stands in contrast to the liberty and prosperity of Idahoans.

The Constitution already provides tools for states to assert their authority without reopening foundational questions or introducing uncertainty into the system.

Educated and engaged citizens are the foundation of good government. Limiting government growth is possible when we have honest conversations, transparency, and a willingness to tackle tough issues head-on.
