The campaign · in their words
“Keeping Idaho a place we are proud to call home!”
Plank 1 · campaign site
A nation that cannot secure its border cannot control its future
“Russ supports strong border security, full enforcement of immigration law, and an orderly legal immigration process that puts American citizens first.”
Plank 2 · campaign site
Idahoans should have more management control over the land inside our border
“With the federal government controlling roughly 63% of Idaho's land, Russ believes local communities are better equipped to manage Idaho's forests, minerals, energy, and natural resources.”
Plank 3 · campaign site
Washington's reckless spending is driving debt, inflation, and economic pain for Idahoan families
“Russ believes Congress should be held to the same basic standard as Idaho families: do not spend money you do not have.”

What They Care About
How this is measured
Bubble size = how much of Russ Fulcher's sponsored bills, cosponsorships, campaign statements and tweets go to each domain. Votes are left out because they follow committee seats; domains a member's committees handle are discounted a little. Anything from the last 6 months counts double, so a topic they are on about right now grows. Darker = they have broken with their own party more often on that topic: the share of party-line votes since 2009 where they voted against their party's majority (gray = fewer than 8 such votes). Based on 2 sponsored, 154 cosponsored, 37 statements, 348 topical tweets. Click a bubble to open what they support and the bills and tweets behind it; click it again to close.
