The 2026 legislative session is in full swing, and we are calling on Idahoans across the state to join in the work of protecting healthcare, standing up for public education, and defending our ballot-initiative rights.

  • NOT A DOLLAR MORE FOR PRIVATE-SCHOOL VOUCHERS: You can learn Myths and Facts about Idaho’s private-school voucher program here.

  • PROTECTING MEDICAID EXPANSION: Repeal of Medicaid Expansion wouldn’t just eliminate healthcare for 85,000 Idahoans; it would also deprive Idaho of $1 billion annually in federal investment, deepening our state’s budget crisis. Click here to download our 2-page document on the cost of repeal. You can read analysis of the fiscal benefits of Medicaid Expansion from the Idaho Center for Fiscal Policy here; and you can click here to read economist Steven Peterson’s study of the positive economic impact Medicaid Expansion is having on Idaho communities.

What is Reclaim Idaho?

Idaho’s political establishment is out of touch with Idaho’s people. Survey after survey tells us that the vast majority of Idahoans value strong public schools, and yet Idaho is dead last of 50 states in funding for K-12 education. In 2018, 61% of Idahoans voted in favor of Medicaid Expansion. But for six years prior to the people’s vote, Idaho legislators refused to expand Medicaid even as hundreds of Idahoans died preventable deaths and thousands more fell deep into debt from unpaid medical bills.

Our lawmakers routinely pass tax cuts and other favors for the wealthy donors and special-interest groups who help get them elected. But when it comes to the bread-and-butter issues that affect all of us, the majority of our elected representatives are not doing right by the people of Idaho.
