SIMPSON: Decisions not representative of constituents

| June 21, 2023 1:00 AM

I am a novice at following politics but I can certainly smell it when someone has been in the swamp too long. And it’s starting to smell like we need to replace Rep. Mike Simpson. Just within the last week or two he has voted to increase the debt limit and then he voted to block the sanctions against California’s Adam Schiff who spent tons of money and years of precious time fabricating lies and causing undue conflict and upheaval all the while neglecting the important things that needed to be done.

We hire our politicians to represent us in Washington and to make decisions that are in the best interest of Idaho and of the United States of America. I challenge all readers to start tracking how our representatives and senators vote. You can easily find it online. Our current representatives are Mike Simpson and Russ Fulcher. Our current senators are Mike Crapo and Jim Risch. Let’s simply terminate their employment when they are not doing the job we hire them to do.
