Raúl was a leading conservative in the Idaho Legislature and has emerged as one of the most prominent conservative voices in Washington, D.C. Since his election to a seat in the Idaho House of Representatives in 2006, Raúl has been a clear and consistent advocate for Idaho values. Now, as our Congressman, he is proud to extend his record of fiscal responsibility, limited government and individual freedom to the halls of Capitol Hill.

During his time in Congress, Raúl has been an unwavering advocate for what matters to Idahoans. He has fought to protect our privacy from an overreaching federal government as a vocal opponent of NDAA and the Patriot Act. He has been a tireless supporter of scaling back the size and score of government, voting against all needless spending bills in the U.S. House of Representatives. He has voted for every measure that would reduce our tax burden and reform this cumbersome system once and for all.

He has also been one of Congress’s most innovative Members. During the debt ceiling negotiations, Speaker John Boehner credited Raúl as “leader of the freshman class” for his work in securing a vote for a Balanced Budget Amendment for the first time since 1995. As a member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, he fought for justice for the murder of Border Agent Brian Terry as a result of the Obama Administration’s disgraced “Fast and Furious” gunrunning program. After reviewing all of the significant findings, Raúl was the first Member of Congress to formally and courageously demand the resignation of Attorney General Holder for his failures as the nation’s most important agent of justice.

Despite overwhelming national acclaim for his conservative bonafides, Raúl has always remained acutely focused on the needs of Idaho. In December 2014, the Grazing Improvement Act and the Idaho County Shooting Range Land Conveyance Act were signed into law by the president. He has also passed a bill to remove federal restrictions on geothermal energy exploration and a permanent reform to Secure Rural Schools so states like Idaho can responsibly manage their own natural resources.

In addition to his significant legislative responsibilities in D.C., he remains focused on the needs of Idaho’s First Congressional District. His office has routinely secured millions of dollars in benefits that was owed to his constituents and obtained missing medals for Idaho’s veterans. He has maintained consistent communication with his constituents through numerous traditional town halls and telephone town halls.

Raúl has a proven record of consistently standing up for our values. He is the rare politician who stands up and fights for what’s right. He knows his chief responsibility, as a public servant is to protect the taxpayers, not the special interests. He has kept his promises to his constituents and will continue to keep his promises to you in Congress.

Our country is at a crossroads. While we endure hardships, we wonder about the uncertain future ahead. These times require brave and bold leadership rooted in a moral foundation unshaken by the political winds as they blow.
