Idaho Democratic Party

A statement from Chair Lauren Necochea on Donald Trump's use of military force in Iran.

🎤🎤🎤

Tonight, Trump is going to try to convince us he kept his promise to lower costs and put America first.

The reality? His billionaire-first agenda and chaotic trade wars have led to higher prices, unaffordable health care, and the worst job market in years.

Idahoans are done footing the bill.

Republicans on the budget committee voted NO on restoring tuition benefits for Idaho Army National Guard members. If they won’t honor their promises to the men and women who serve, they have no business holding public office.

If it was predictable, it wasn’t unintended.

If budgets are a statement of values, what does this say about Statehouse Republicans?

On Presidents’ Day, we’re reminded of a simple truth. Our democracy doesn’t belong to one person. It belongs to the people, to all of us.

We honor the leaders who strengthened our country, defended the Constitution, and expanded freedom. We recommit ourselves to doing the same.

Idaho deserves better.

Halfway through the session, Republicans say deep cuts are the only option. That’s not true.

Democrats laid out real budget fixes today, protect Medicaid, fund our schools, support working families, and stop handing out costly tax giveaways. Idaho deserves better.

Idahoans showed up in force to defend Medicaid and their communities. Now it’s on Republican lawmakers and Gov. Little to listen — and move forward with solutions that protect coverage and care.

Public forum today, 4 p.m. at the Statehouse.

Join Idaho House & Senate Democrats and hear from Idahoans who would feel these cuts first.

Protect coverage and care. Demand better solutions.

Parents. Seniors. People with disabilities. Caregivers. Providers.
Your voice matters.

Join us Feb. 4 at the Capitol to speak out on proposed Medicaid cuts and make your story part of the record.

When the government uses force, the public has a right to know who’s doing it. Idaho Democrats will defend the rule of law and protect Idahoans from government abuse, period.

Remember when Republican politicians promised Idaho public schools wouldn’t take a hit?

They lied.

They can claim “family values,” but their budget says otherwise.

While kids with disabilities on Medicaid lose access to critical therapies, Idaho’s Republican supermajority is pushing new tax giveaways for the ultra-wealthy and big corporations. They should be ashamed.

On the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, remember this:

Last week, House and Senate Democratic leaders sent a letter to the Idaho Tax Commission demanding real oversight before a single taxpayer dollar goes out the door, as they continue working to repeal vouchers altogether.

From day one, Idaho Democrats have opposed school voucher schemes that subsidize private and religious school tuition with near-zero accountability.

Dr. King warned us that progress is never permanent. On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we recommit to protecting hard-won gains and fighting for justice, equality, and economic opportunity in a moment that demands courage and clarity.

Tickets are on sale for the 32nd Annual Frank & Bethine Church Gala. Join Idaho Democrats from across the state for our premier event of the year and help power the work ahead.

The 2026 legislative session starts today. Idaho Democrats are ready, and we’re ready every day after. We’ll fight for you, your family, and the Idaho you deserve.

Disappointed? Yes. Surprised? Not even a little bit.

BREAKING: The U.S. House just passed a bill to extend ACA tax credits and keep health coverage more affordable for working Idaho families.

Russ Fulcher and Mike Simpson voted NO.

This year, the GOP spent a lot of time wreaking havoc on our country and no time making life better for everyday Americans.

Wishing you and your family peace and joy this Christmas.

Lowering costs and fighting for working families, that’s what it means to be an Idaho Democrat.
