Even the Democrats are Confused (or pretending to be)
Why are Big Pharma and health insurers paying tens of thousands of dollars to my opponent and what do they want in exchange?

Supports the Resettling of Refugees in Idaho
In 2019, Governor Brad Little and the two counties in the state in which refugee resettlement occurs sent letters to the Trump administration, affirming their support for resettlement to continue locally.
An executive order signed by President Trump in September required state and local governments to give written consent by January 21 in order for resettlement to continue there. Brad Little gave go-ahead, and now he’s pretending he’s against it with Biden in office.
Five newly arrived Afghan refugees have been accused of rape thus far, and several child brides have been discovered among the group of around 100,000.
Many of them are coming to Idaho, and Brad Little doesn’t seem too interested in doing anything to stop it.

The state of Idaho has so far welcomed 36 Afghan refugees to resettle here this year. But as the U.S. military withdrawal in Afghanistan evolves, that number will exponentially increase.
The International Rescue Committee (IRC) in Idaho has helped refugees resettle in the state for decades. Georgette Sisqueros, the group’s Engagement Coordinator, said the situation in Afghanistan has intensified the need for many of those caught in the conflict to be reunited in Idaho.
“A lot of our team have been working nonstop and talking to families who are just trying to do whatever they can to get their loved ones here,” said Sisqueros.
The IRC in Idaho, along with other groups in Idaho, are raising money to pay for application fees and programs to help people get settled in the state. The group said it’s important to understand the ‘history and context’ of what is happening in Afghanistan.
Sisqueros says she hopes the U.S. government will resettle as many refugees from Afghanistan in Idaho as possible.
