Russ's Priorities

Supporting Idaho Families

Family is the foundation of every community. Russ Spencer believes the strength of Idaho lies in strong families, supported by faith, moral clarity, and opportunity.

Russ’s Priorities:

• Defend the Unborn

  Stand for life and for policies that protect the most vulnerable among us.

• Restore Parental Rights

  Make sure parents, not bureaucrats, have the final say in their children’s education and upbringing.

• Strengthen Community Values

  Encourage policies that support family stability, faith communities, and local traditions.

For Russ, it all comes back to one goal: keeping Idaho a place where families can live, work, and worship freely.

Guided Growth & Strong Communities

Idaho is growing, and with it come real challenges: rising home prices, crowded roads, and strain on schools. Russ Spencer believes in guiding responsible, balanced growth that serves Idaho families, not special interests from out of state.

Russ’s Priorities:

• Keep Idaho Affordable

  Address property tax pressures so long-time residents aren’t priced out of their homes.

• Plan with Purpose

  Support smart infrastructure and community development that keeps Idaho’s small-town values intact.

• Protect Public Access to Public Lands

  Outdoor recreation is a reason many call Idaho home. Growth must be balanced with the land, the people, and the traditions that define our state.

Growth should never come at the cost of the character that makes Idaho home.

Russ Spencer believes good government starts with common sense; spending less, listening more, and always putting taxpayers first. As a lifelong conservative, Russ knows every dollar the state spends comes from an Idaho family that worked hard to earn it.

Russ’s Priorities:

• Protect the Family Budget Hold the line on state spending and demand accountability in how tax dollars are used.

• Lower the Burden on Working Families

  Push for real property tax reform and policies that keep homeownership within reach.

• Preserve Idaho’s Conservative Heritage

  Keep our laws and classrooms focused on faith, family, and freedom, not ideology.

Russ doesn’t believe in government doing more than what’s necessary. He believes in Idahoans; their integrity, work ethic, and ability to shape their own future without interference.

Fiscal and Social Conservatism

Russ Spencer isn’t a career politician; he's a public servant, husband, father, and leader in our community. As a lifelong Idahoan, Russ knows that government should serve the people, not the other way around. His priorities are shaped by faith, family, and a belief that Idaho’s best days are still ahead, if we protect what makes it strong.

Energy Independence & Innovation

Energy drives Idaho’s economy, feeding both our farms and our industries. Russ Spencer supports smart, secure, and affordable energy solutions that keep Idaho self-reliant and create good jobs in the process.

Russ’s Priorities:

• Promote Local Energy Solutions

  Encourage responsible energy production that keeps costs low and jobs local.

• Modernize Safely

  Support the research and expansion of advanced energy technologies, including nuclear, when it’s safe, transparent, and community-focused.

• Guard Against Foreign Control Ensure Idaho’s energy resources and land remain under Idaho’s control, not foreign investors’.

For Russ, energy independence isn’t about politics; it’s about protecting our families, our farms, and our future.

National Security & Protecting Idaho

Even at the state level, security matters. From protecting Idaho’s resources against foreign ownership to safeguarding our data and infrastructure. Russ Spencer believes strong national security starts with secure communities here at home.

Russ’s Priorities:

• Support Law Enforcement & Military Families

  Ensure that those who serve our state and nation have the tools and respect they deserve.

• Strengthen Infrastructure Security

  Invest in technology and safeguards that protect our power grid and essential systems.

• Protect Idaho Land from Foreign Interests

  Stop foreign adversaries from buying up farmland and property across the state.

Stop foreign adversaries from buying up farmland and property across the state.
