(From the Desk of Senator James E. Risch, January 5, 2026)
What’s Your #1 Priority?
After spending the holidays with my family in the Gem State, I’m back in Washington, D.C. to fight for the issues that matter most to Idahoans.
The start of the new year is a chance to reflect on the work we’ve done this Congress but also look ahead at opportunities to improve Idahoans’ way of life.
From reining in federal overreach to defending our public lands, I’m proud to put the needs of our great state first.
