This Veterans Day, thank you to all who have served. I’m grateful for your service, your sacrifice, and all you do for Idaho and our nation.

[Idaho Secretary of State @IDSecOfState]

A highlight of Election Day was spending the morning with Idaho veterans at the Warhawk Air Museum in Nampa.

When we vote, we have a voice in our government and help shape our country’s future. Generations of veterans have helped defend that freedom.

[Idaho Secretary of State @IDSecOfState]

Our offices are closed today, November 11, in observance of Veterans Day.

To all who have served, thank you for your service and sacrifice.

[Idaho Secretary of State @IDSecOfState]

Our team is in Latah County today, overseeing a full recount of all ballots cast in the General Election. We’re working with the county to ensure every vote is counted and accurately reported.

I connected with Idahoans elected to serve on their local school boards.

It takes dedication to run for office and turn a vision for our schools into action. Thank you to these local leaders for their service to Idaho’s students, families, and communities.

[Idaho Secretary of State @IDSecOfState]

Education powers the future of our communities across Idaho, and school board members and educators help shape that future every day.

I enjoyed speaking at the Idaho School Boards Association’s annual convention this week.

Election Day is over, but the work continues!

[Brad Little @GovernorLittle]

In 2024, @IDSecOfState & I signed the Only Citizens Will Vote Act because protecting the integrity of our elections is of utmost importance.

As Idahoans head to the polls, we’re using every available tool to verify voter eligibility while ensuring eligible citizens can exercise their right to vote.

[Idaho Secretary of State @IDSecOfState]

Ensuring that only citizens vote in our elections requires using the best tools available. SAVE is an important part of that process in Idaho, giving us the information we need to protect both election integrity and due process. Read more in my WSJ opinion:

[Wall Street Journal Opinion @WSJopinion]

The SAVE database is working for Idaho. We’ve used it to find noncitizens who were on our voter rolls, writes @IDSecOfState

⏰ Today is the deadline! Preregister to vote or request an absentee ballot by 5 PM at https://t.co/yGrVQ5q3o9.

Miss the deadline? You can still register at the polls on Election Day with a photo ID + proof of residence. For most Idahoans, a driver's license covers both!

[Idaho Secretary of State @IDSecOfState]

So, you're saying I have a chance!?!🤣 #BaldGuywithGlasses

[Josh Barzon @JoshuaBarzon]

Potential 2028 Presidential Candidates if they were bald. Who wears the scalp best?

[Idaho Secretary of State @IDSecOfState]

Thank you to all our panelists, partners, and organizers who helped make this impactful event possible. Here’s to continuing the conversation!

[Idaho Secretary of State @IDSecOfState]

Free speech is fundamental to our republic, and protecting it means creating space for open dialogue, respectful debate, and the exchange of ideas. These conversations are important, and they must continue.

[Idaho Secretary of State @IDSecOfState]

Reflecting on our inaugural Idaho Free Speech Summit, it was an incredible day filled with thoughtful discussions.

Thank you to Utah Governor Spencer Cox for joining us and sharing his perspective on how we can disagree better while respecting different viewpoints.
