(Idaho Freedom Caucus, May 13, 2026)
President Trump recently announced his intention to temporarily suspend the federal gas tax to provide much-needed relief at the pump as fuel prices surge.
While technically it is Congress that is responsible for setting taxes and tariffs according to the U.S. Constitution, we stand firmly behind this commonsense initiative to push Congress to act on behalf of the citizens and economy. As inflation and the cost of living continue to climb, we believe the Idaho government should consider aligning with this idea by stopping any future tax increases on the people of Idaho.
While national policies make headlines, our work on the ground in Idaho never stops.
Our dedicated state legislators are working year-round, keeping up to date on current issues to deliver real results. We continually look for waste of taxpayer dollars and for ways to decrease tax burdens across the board. We believe that empowering Idaho means letting you keep more of the money you work so hard to earn.
We will keep you updated on this important issue.
