To the people of #Idaho's 1st Congressional District, thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for giving me the opportunity to represent you for the past 8 years. I will always appreciate your support & friendship. Please read my final e-newsletter here: http://goo.gl/m9y3CT 

Thanks to @POTUS for signing an executive order to promote better management of America's forests & other federal lands. Healthy forests & preventing wildfires is a key issue for #Idaho & I appreciate @realDonaldTrump for going the extra mile 2 help. More: http://goo.gl/7XhHbs 

Today, I voted for the First Step Act. This bipartisan bill enacts the most significant reforms 2 our criminal justice system in a generation. I’ve been working on this issue for 8 years & it’s rewarding to see our hard work finally pay off. More: http://goo.gl/jJXx1y

(3/3) On behalf of my family, I wish you and yours the happiest of Thanksgivings, and I hope you'll join me in praying for #Idaho and our nation. My full #Thanksgiving message: http://goo.gl/Su9m2p 

(2/3) Thanks to the Founders’ vision, courage and divinely inspired belief that all men are created equal, we enjoy freedom of religion, speech, assembly and the right to self-governance. The origin of those liberties dates to the first #Thanksgiving.

Today, on #Thanksgiving, we come together as a nation to celebrate the conviction of the Pilgrims who fled religious persecution, the success of the American Revolution, & the constitutional rights we cherish. We also give thanks 4 the many blessings bestowed by our Creator (1/3)

I hope you'll join me in voting NO on Prop 1. It expands gambling and would pull taxpayers into a costly legal battle. Meanwhile, proponents make dubious claims about helping Idaho. Please vote NO on Tuesday. More: https://bit.ly/2PfdeM1 

I'm gratified @HouseJudiciary approved a long-overdue 3rd U.S. district judge in Idaho, an issue I've worked on since 2013. As a young lawyer, I saw the consequences of delay, including heartache & economic loss. More in this week's Labrador Letter: https://bit.ly/2NHGRUt 

.@HouseJudiciary just approved a bill authorizing a 3rd U.S. District judge for #Idaho and adding judges to other jurisdictions with judicial emergencies. I've been a longtime advocate for doing this, including introducing my own bill in 2017. Release: http://goo.gl/cFBq3g 

(3/3) And we must never forget the way our country came together in the aftermath. I’ve never seen anything like it, and I hope it inspires us today and during all our future challenges. May God bless America!

(2/3) We must never forget we were attacked because our enemies disagree with the values of our great nation: freedom, democracy, and pluralism – the values that make our nation the greatest in the world and the greatest in history.

(1/3) Today, #Idaho and America remember the 3,000 innocent men and women who lost their lives 17 years ago. We must never forget the first responders who rushed into the burning buildings to save others but were never able to come home.

Brett Kavanaugh is poised to join Neil Gorsuch as President Trump’s 2nd successful #SCOTUS nominee. @realDonaldTrump is keeping his solemn promise to nominate judges who properly apply our Constitution. More in this week's Labrador Letter. https://bit.ly/2CuXzSu
