Congressman Mike Simpson, representing Idaho’s 2nd district since 1999, shared several updates on social media recently. These posts reflect his ongoing political engagement and personal reflections.

On March 16, 2025, Congressman Simpson expressed his sorrow over the death of a former colleague. "I’m saddened to hear of the passing of my former colleague and dear friend, Nita Lowey." He praised Lowey as a "trailblazer" and noted her historic achievement as the first woman to chair the House Appropriations Committee. Simpson extended his condolences to those affected by her passing.

The following day, on March 17, 2025, he commented on gas prices in Idaho. "Idahoans are paying LESS for gas under President Trump!" This tweet suggests that Simpson attributes reduced gas prices in Idaho to policies enacted during Trump's presidency.

Later that day, Congressman Simpson expressed gratitude for a legislative provision he has supported. "I have long fought for this critical provision, and I am grateful to my colleagues and the Trump administration for their support in making it a reality." The tweet includes a link via @interior, indicating collaboration with the Department of the Interior.
