By Sen. Jim Risch
The U.S. Senate has been working overtime to deliver victories for the American people.
Last month, I hosted KTVB Channel 7 in Washington, D.C., to give Idahoans a behind-the-scenes look at the action.
KTVB’s exclusive “Day in the Life” coverage takes an in-depth look at my efforts to advance Idaho priorities and protect our way of life.
Key highlights:
- An interview with Idaho’s KIDO Talk Radio;
- A Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on the flood of fentanyl precursor chemicals from China into Mexico, fueling drug trafficking across the southern border;
- A Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee hearing on growing energy demands and my efforts to expand domestic nuclear energy production;
- A Senate Small Business Committee hearing on Chinese espionage;
- A speech on the U.S. Senate floor supporting sanctions on Iran;
- Meetings with Idaho constituents; and
- A sit-down interview with KTVB’s Joe Parris.
As your Senator, I will continue fighting for the people of Idaho and ensuring our state remains at the forefront of American greatness.
