I had the honor of meeting with Idaho National Guardsmen and General Donnellan in DC. Thank you for your service, and may God bless America’s”.
Later that day, Simpson addressed regulatory reform on Capitol Hill. In his post dated December 11, 2025, he stated: “.@HouseGOP promised to provide regulatory certainty for farmers, energy producers, builders, and Americans nationwide. Cutting red tape and enacting commonsense permitting reform is the first step toward delivering that certainty.”
On December 12, 2025, Simpson commented on agricultural policy under President Biden’s administration. He posted: “Simply put, Biden’s disastrous policies hurt American farmers. @POTUS and @SecRollins are reversing the damage done and working to fight for our nation’s great farmers, ranchers, and producers!”
