The people will remember who stood with them and who sold them out.

Our statement on Governor Brad Little signing the reckless voucher scheme that sells out Idaho public schools.

Yesterday, Mike Simpson and Russ Fulcher betrayed hardworking Idaho families by advancing their budget scheme to give tax handouts to billionaire backers while ripping away health care and making it harder to put food on the table.

Mike Simpson and Russ Fulcher just voted for the Republican budget that slashes Medicaid and betrays the middle class.

Public tax dollars belong in public schools — not private bank accounts. Contact Governor Brad Little now and demand that he stand up for Idaho schools and veto House Bill 93. 📞 208-334-2100 🔗 bit.ly/4h0tnNg

HB 93 is a reckless voucher scheme that siphons millions of public dollars meant for our classrooms into private bank accounts. Governor Brad Little promised to protect our neighborhood schools — now it’s time for him to prove it. 📢 Take action now! Tell Gov. Little to VETO HB 93.

Idaho Democratic Party Chair Lauren Necochea’s statement on the disturbing events at the Kootenai County town hall:

"Idahoans deserve leaders who fight for them, not politicians who put billionaires ahead of everyday Idahoans. The question for Idaho’s Republican leaders is simple: Do you work for the people of Idaho or Trump and Musk? Because you can’t do both." — Chair Lauren Necochea

Medicaid expansion helps over 89,000 Idahoans, supports 9,300 jobs, and pumps $1.5 billion into Idaho’s economy. Idaho Democrats will fight like hell to protect it.

Idaho Democrats will always stand up for our public schools.

BREAKING: Idaho Senate Republicans just passed a reckless voucher scheme that drains resources from public education and hurts our rural schools. Every Democrat voted against it.

BREAKING: Idaho House Republicans just voted to sabotage voter-approved Medicaid expansion, putting coverage for 90k Idahoans at risk. Every Democrat voted against it.

NIH support drives lifesaving research in Idaho, from preventing infant deaths to easing the side effects of chemotherapy. Yet, Republican politicians refuse to stand up to Trump as he guts this critical funding, all to appease a man who cares more about billionaires than working families.

"Republicans in the Idaho Legislature are not like us. They prioritize the wealthy over working families, control over freedom, and power over common sense. Idaho Democrats know which side we’re on. The question is: Do you?" — Chair Lauren Necochea

Idahoans deserve an FBI Director who will uphold the law, not use the agency as a political weapon for personal vendettas. 📢 Take Action Now: Contact Senators Crapo and Risch and demand they vote NO on Kash Patel's confirmation.

This morning Idaho Democrats on the House Health & Welfare Committee unanimously voted against the latest Republican-led attack on Medicaid expansion.

A new report from University of Idaho economist Steven Peterson shows Medicaid expansion keeps Idahoans healthier and more productive. Yet, Republicans on the House Health & Welfare Committee just advanced a bill to dismantle it.

To grow our economy and bring in future industries, we need a strong public education system. That's why public funds should be going to public schools, not sitting in private bank accounts.

District 15 Rep. Dori Healey voted to advance a bill that would rip healthcare away from 85,000 Idahoans by repealing Medicaid expansion. Her actions ignore the will of the voters and puts lives at risk. West Boise families deserve a leader who fights for them, not one who takes away their care.

District 29 Rep. Tanya Burgoyne voted to advance a bill that would rip healthcare away from 85,000 Idahoans by repealing Medicaid expansion. Her actions ignore the will of the voters and puts lives at risk. Pocatello families deserve a leader who fights for them, not one who takes away their care.

Make no mistake: Trump’s Tariffs will hurt Idaho farms and raise costs for families across the state.

Mike Pohanka campaigned as a moderate, but his vote to overturn marriage equality shows he’s siding with the extreme Idaho GOP agenda. That’s not pro-family or what voters in Blaine, Lincoln, and Jerome counties sent him to Boise to do. District 26 deserves leaders who put people over politics.

Republican politicians are attacking your ballot initiative rights again. HB 2 would require initiatives to pass with 60%, imposing stricter rules on the people than legislators. Idahoans have a fundamental right to citizen-led initiatives, and we must fight to protect it.
