When asked about calls for public hearings on decisions made by White House officials during the war in Iran, Foreign Relations Committee Chair and US Senator from Idaho said: "I have decided that we will not have have public hearings because I do not believe the administration's decision makers should be subject to public questioning by senators".

I have decided we will not have Jim Risch as Idaho's next senator.

Because #JimRisch won't do his job.

We will elect @achillesid.bsky.social; he understands the assignment.

Risch's office is spreadig false information. Only 5 states (NY, VT, MI, MN, W) offer an enhanced license that proves citizenship.

Looking at you!

Sen. Jim Risch would protect an 8 week-old fetus but he would not protect a 10 year-old raped by her father/uncle/neighbor.

He would not protect a woman or girl who faces life-threatening injuries from carrying a pregnancy to term.

#JimRisch is pro-birth, not pro-life.

Vote him out!
