JOUR-PAC is proud to endorse Russ Fulcher for Idaho's 1st Congressional District. This district is currently represented by Rep. Raul Labrador, who is vacating the seat to run for governor.
Russ Fulcher is a former Idaho state senator with a proven record as a conservative reformer: "While representing the Treasure Valley in the Idaho State Senate for nearly a decade, Russ was an unwavering advocate for conservative principles, responsible governance, and ethical leadership. He understands that “business as usual” is not good enough for Idaho. He has developed innovative solutions to the challenges our state is facing. In the legislature, Russ led the charge with reforms that truly support Idaho’s families and job creators. His signature legislation, the grocery tax credit, returns more than $100 million to Idaho taxpayers every year. This allows Idahoans to keep more of our hard-earned dollars to spend, save, and invest. Russ also served on the Senate State Affairs and Education Committees. His colleagues elected him to be the Senate Republican Caucus Leader for 6 of the 10 years that he served." The following are some of his views on some important issues: "Stronger Economic Growth: I spent my professional career as a businessman traveling the world promoting Idaho’s economy. I know what it will take to get this economy moving again. We will get the federal government out of the way so Idaho businesses can grow. We will build on educating and training our workforce for jobs in growth industry sectors throughout our state, removing excessive federal mandates that act as an obstacle to ensuring Idaho has the most competitive workforce in the world. And, we will unleash responsibly our natural resources to create business and job opportunities in every part of our state. Controlling Our National Budget and Debt: I support policies that reduce federal spending and borrowing. I will use my legislative and business experience to build coalitions in the Congress and my business executive experience to negotiate with the White House to lower federal debt so that we don’t saddle our children and grandchildren with this financial burden. I will remove redundant and wasteful federal programs, agencies, and departments, working closely with my colleagues in the Idaho State Legislature on the targeting, prioritization, and reduction of these federal burdens. Defend and Advance America: This is important in part, because our constitution gives Congress – specifically, the House of Representatives – with the power over “war and peace.” I oppose nation-building and excessively long engagements that lack a definition and strategy to win. The job of the military is to fight and win wars, defending our homeland and our interests only. I also oppose any military operation that is not approved and supported by a proper act of the Congress and led by the U.S. military." Here is what Rep. Raul Labrador stated about Russ Fulcher: "I fully support Russ Fulcher in his bid to become the next Congressman from Idaho’s 1st District. Russ’ background as an international businessman, legislative Senate leader, and champion of small government makes him an excellent candidate for U.S. Congress. Having him serve in Washington DC would give me great confidence that the fight for liberty will continue. I am convinced that this is the best move for Republican party unity and also the best move to change the direction of our state and country. " Russ Fulcher has the experience as an international businessman, a proven record as an Idaho state senator, and the character and integrity to be an excellent representative for the people of Idaho's 1st Congressional District. Therefore, JOUR-PAC officially endorses Russ Fulcher for Idaho's 1st Congressional District! We urge the citizens of Idaho's 1st Congressional District to support Russ Fulcher for Congress.
