Dirk Kempthorne State Quotations

Our state has been a bastion of support for the president, ... Idahoans have stood at his side in his support of our troops and his work to help the national economy recover.

On a per capita basis, we have more troops deployed than any other state in the union,

What we cannot have is grandparents competing with grandchildren for state resources.

The men and women who serve this nation and this state are our guardians of peace and they do so at great personal risk.

It is my honor to serve with you, the people of Idaho. This great state, this forty-third star in the galaxy of states that form the greatest nation in the world.
