United States Senator Mike Crapo - Idaho

*10 Weeks On, Home in the
Gem State and Back to the Capitol*

*Wasting No Time on a
Conservative Agenda*

On Friday, March 14, the United States Senate
wrapped up 10 weeks of consecutive session in Washington, D.C.
This
was the longest continuous session in at least 15 years, and Senate
Republicans worked around the clock to confirm President Trump's
Cabinet nominees and begin advancing his agenda as mandated by the
American people in the November 2024 elections.

In response to the
November mandate, President Trump is:

-
*Securing**our homeland
by *restoring order at our southern border;

-
*Re-establishing
American strength *on the international stage;

-
*Unleashing
American energy *by approving projects, restoring offshore drilling
and rescinding onerous rules and regulations; and

-
*Addressing
the size and scope of the federal government*through efforts underway
at each of the federal agencies to root out waste, fraud and
abuse.

In the first weeks of the 119th Congress, some of the
efforts I have worked on and supported include:

-
Advancing the
Senate version of a *Fiscal Year 2025 budget resolution* [link 1]to
protect our borders, unleash domestic energy potential and take the
first, long-overdue step toward getting our fiscal house in
order;

-
Leading legislation to preserve the *Idaho Air National
Guard's 190th Fighter Squadron* [link 2];

-
Introducing a bill to
preserve Idahoans' access to affordable, reliable *vehicles of their
choice* [link 3], as well as co-sponsoring a comprehensive package of
bills to repeal the Biden Administrations *de facto electric vehicle
mandates* [link 4]; and

-
Continuing support of the *Second
Amendment* [link 5].

*At Home in the Gem State*

Longer periods
of working in Washington, D.C., mean fewer state work periods than in
previous years, but I enjoyed my recent return home to meet with many
of you.
While in Idaho, I met with hundreds of Idahoans from a range
of areas, including:

-
The business community;

-
Energy
companies;

-
Agriculture;

-
Local leaders;

-
Media
entities;

-
Workers;

-
And more.

A snapshot of some of my
visits is below.

*Back to the U.S.
Capitol*

The next Senate session has begun, and I am back in
Washington, D.C.
I am focused on continuing to advance a pro-growth
agenda that will benefit Idahoans from all walks of life.
Chief among
my priorities is one I share with President Trump--*Preventing a Tax
Hike on Idaho Families* [link 11].
