  • As independent as Idaho

    Walt Minnick has earned praise from across the political spectrum for his non-partisan approach. The Washington Post, Congressional Quarterly and other groups call him the “most independent member of Congress,” and his work at home earns support from Republicans, Democrats, Independents, civic and trade groups, community leaders and regular Idahoans who want their representative to be an independent voice for Idaho.

  • Demanding fiscal accountability

    From standing firm against earmarks to voting against record spending and demanding that Congress balance the budget, Walt Minnick has one of the best records in Congress as a true fiscal conservative. Walt bucked his party to vote against massive spending bills, and bucks the system in Washington, D.C., by not only refusing to seek earmarks, but also by voting for every amendment to strip earmarks from every spending bill.

NYT: Walt on small businesses

July 29, 2010

Walt spoke to the New York Times on June 15 about the recession and how to help the recovery of small businesses.

Walt on how small businesses are essential for economic recovery:

Walt rejects deficit spending as a solution:

Raul’s financial illiteracy, plagiarism

July 23, 2010

 

Many of you may have received a lengthy release late this evening from Raul Labrador, who attached Congressman Walt Minnick for his vote to better regulate Wall Street.

If you're an avid political geek, you might have seen recent news about the strong fundraising performance of the Minnick for Congress campaign. During April, May and June Walt raised more than $410,000! Yet while that impressive number caused a lot of eyes to pop, Walt posted another number recently, one we think is even more important.

In just one Saturday last month our campaign recruited over 200 new volunteers. This "day of action" resulted in hundreds of volunteer shifts for the aggressive phone-call and canvass program we began in May. Our desire to knock on every door and call every voter is ambitious, but it's reflective…
