Family Recognition/Awards

It is an honor to represent the people of Idaho. It is my goal to do so in a manner that reflects the values and traditions of Idahoans. During the course of my public service, I have been fortunate to be recognized by many tremendous organizations. Many of these awards are based on my voting record, and my efforts to serve the people of Idaho.

So many issues that confront Congress touch our families, which are the bedrock of a healthy society. It's important to find the most effective ways to provide policies that assist in rearing healthy, educated children who will contribute to the fabric of our society. To learn more about my positions on issues affecting family and social policy, please visit the Cultural Diversity,Family & Social Policy, Education and Criminal Justice & the Courts sections of this website.
