Fighting for regulatory relief for Idaho farmers, ranchers

Federal agricultural-related regulation too often results in more time, more paperwork, more money, more ambiguity, more headaches and more stress for those working to get food on our tables without any real benefits for workers, consumers, taxpayers or the environment. Regulations should be carefully thought through and reviewed, with consideration of the farm families charged with integrating these policies into their operations. If the benefits do not considerably outweigh the costs, the regulation is outdated or just too heavy-handed, it should be scrapped.

We must focus on shared heath care goals

As Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Finance, I have worked with colleagues on a number of bipartisan health care solutions, ranging from mental health improvements to comprehensive telehealth coverage for seniors and working families. These solutions were also fiscally responsible and reduced the deficit by billions of dollars. Bringing Idaho commonsense to Congress, we can advance additional reforms that improve health care access, affordability and choice for all Americans if my congressional colleagues on both sides of the aisle and the Biden Administration focus on the policies we all support.
