ON YOUR MARK, GET SET……GO!!!!
2024 Session Begins Tomorrow.
The Idaho 2024 Legislative Session begins tomorrow. I arrived in Boise on Wednesday, January 3rd, to get settled into my little bungalow and office. I have been on the go since the moment my trusty Lincoln pickup left my garage in District 24.
Participating in the Idaho GOP winter meeting last Friday and Saturday has established the tempo for the forthcoming legislative session. I was both honored and pleasantly surprised to receive the award of 'Outstanding Republican Legislator.' As your Senator, my dedication stems from a sincere love for all of you and our beautiful Idahome. I pledge to persist in working tirelessly, fighting valiantly, and upholding boldness and courage to ensure that I represent you, my constituents, to the best of my ability.
I am going to do my very best to keep all of you updated on events and bills. To help you.
On January 8th at 12 pm, we will proceed to the Senate and House Chambers to open the 2024 Legislative Session. This will be followed by Governor Little's State of the State Address at 1 pm, taking place in the House Chambers. Those who are able to join us are welcome. For those who cannot, you can watch the proceedings online click HERE. Listening to the State of State address will give you all insight in what the Governor is hoping to accomplish through legislation.
It is the duty of every Idaho citizen to stay informed and engaged with both our state and national governments. To facilitate this, I am providing links that everyone should save for convenience. Staying engaged will assist you in making informed decisions when voting in the primaries this May.

I am committed to keeping all of you informed about the good, the bad, and the ugly through Substack newsletters, social media, and short videos. Additionally, if anyone is interested in hosting a meet-and-greet at your home on Saturdays during the session, I would be delighted to come and share with you and your neighbors what your state government is doing on your behalf.
Finally, if you are in Boise on Tuesdays, I would like to invite you to two events that occur every Tuesday in the Lincoln Auditorium at Your Capitol.
For a personal touch from your Senator, I will be sharing songs that have spoken to my heart, calmed my spirit, encouraged me, and carried me through the session. If you want to understand someone, ask to listen to their playlist. In each newsletter, I will share a song from my playlist. This week's song is “Gratitude.”
Thank you, Glenneda, for your inspiring message and tenacity. I hope you don't mind my stating my own priorities for the 2024 IDAHO LEGISLATIVE SESSION...
Nearly every Idaho legislator with a “Republican R” after his/her name claims to be staunchly “pro-life.” To truly be pro-life, you must champion human, animal, and even plant life – whether pre-born or born.
To all Republican Legislators: Please consider practicing what you preach during the 2024 legislative session by taking the following actions. None will cost you or Idaho taxpayers a single penny. They will, however, affirm your dedication to life and liberty for every Idahoan. And they could save money in the process.
