Cheers for Simpson by Dustin Henkelmann Idaho Statesman, July 17, 2022

Again, I don't agree with every position Congressman Simpson takes, but I applaud him for putting in the work regarding the restoration of our rivers and the salmon populations.

I'm proud to have such a conservation-minded representative willing to work with all affected parties who deserve a seat at the table discussing the removal of the Lower Snake River dams. I hope that all parties can see the imperative in front of us to breach the dams, restore the salmon and steelhead populations which will in turn benefit the larger ecosystem, and thus bolster an already stellar sportsman and recreation economy.

Choosing to fix this mistake made in the not-so-distant past by removing failing and costly dams will be one of the greatest conservation efforts in modern history, and I hope representatives in Washington hear out Congressman Simpson regarding this time-sensitive issue.

Congressman Simpson is absolutely right: I love living in Idaho because of the vast public lands and access to healthy fishing waters. We need people to put in the work and make hard decisions that very few people in politics are willing to make, so thank you, Congressman Simpson.
