(Stand Up For Idaho Press Release, May 5, 2026)
Idaho Falls–Candidate Forum: Republican Candidates for Idaho U.S. House of Representatives District 2
All candidates running for the Idaho U.S House of Representatives District 2 position were invited to this forum. Candidates Brian Keene from Twin Falls, and Perry Shumway from Rexburg will be in attendance. However Representative Mike Simpson’s office replied and said he has a prior commitment and will not be able to join us. Each candidate will tell why we should vote for them and then there will be a question-and-answer period where the audience can ask questions of the candidates.
This position represents Idaho in the U.S. House of Representatives in Washington DC and helps make laws that affect the entire nation. It is very important to learn about candidates because what they do will affect you, your family, and the future of our nation!. What is their vision for our nation? What do they believe in? What is their background. Why are they running – are they looking out for you or their own self-interest? Is what they say reflective of their past behavior?
So come ask the tough questions and learn about the candidates. Your, your family, and our nation will be affected by who is elected.
Attendance is free, although donations to support Stand Up For Idaho’s nonpartisan educational mission are greatly appreciated. We are an IRS 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and donations are tax deductible.
