EMPOWERING LOCAL ECONOMIES
Idaho Freedom Caucus believes in limited government and unlimited innovation, understanding that preventing unchecked government expansion and bureaucracy is essential for fostering true human progress and growth.
Our vision supports a localist economy by reducing reliance on consumerism, strengthening supply chains, and advocating for sound monetary practices, including a resource-based currency, the establishment of a sovereign state bank and promotion of small locally owned banking institutions.
