Responsible Leadership
Representing Madison & Bonneville Counties
After serving 2 years in the Idaho House of Representatives, I am running for Senate.
“I love the people of East Idaho and the surroundings we enjoy. This is a great place to live and raise a family,” said Ricks during his announcement speech. “Because of this and my desire to serve my community, I am formally announcing my candidacy for Idaho Senate District 34.”
Issues I’m Running On
I am focusing a large portion of my campaign on education. Visiting school districts across the country has allowed me to understand the core values of our teachers and the necessities that our youth need to make Idaho a competitor in education.
Improving
Education
Education is a priority if we are to keep our kids from leaving the area.
Economic Development
We need to think and do things differently if we are to attract quality employers.
Responsible Leadership
As your representative I will make my votes based on your needs, not someone in Boise.

'You represent the whole body': Pro Tem Brent Hill reflects on career

REXBURG — Brent Hill hadn't planned on running for office.
Today on Veteran's Day (and every day), we honor and thank our military veterans. Without you and your service, we would not be a free nation!
I attended the Rexburg Area Chamber of Commerce Veteran's Memorial Day Ceremony. This year they highlighted those who served in the Vietnam War. The program was excellent.
It included a 21 gun salute from VFW Post 3012; parotic music from the Madison High School Band and Bel Cantos Choir, and Madison Fire Dept Pipe Brigade; a tribute speech by Lt. Colonel Robert Jones; a Wreath Laying Ceremony, and more.
My neighbors down the street, Ron and Deanne Lindsay, wanted a Trump sign so I delivered one. Ron, a war veteran, says Trump is the best President he's ever seen.
He even got out of the hospital early after a surgery in order to make his vote for Trump count.
