WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Jim Risch (R-Idaho) released the following statement at the conclusion of President Trump’s State of the Union address:
“Under Republican leadership, Idahoans have more opportunity, more freedom, and more money in their pockets. In 2025 alone, we secured the border, delivered record tax relief for working families, killed the Lava Ridge project, eliminated excessive regulations, and reined in the wasteful federal spending that fueled inflation,” said Risch. “President Trump’s first year back in the White House produced significant victories for Idaho, but our work is not over. I am committed to achieving even more for Idaho in the year ahead by partnering with my Senate colleagues to lower costs, ensure election integrity, and unleash American nuclear energy.”
