I decided to bring back an annual tradition after a few years off - writing some things about some things I read. jamespetzke.com/the-best-books…

Thank you to the residents of District 21 for trusting me with another two year term serving them in the Idaho House. I look forward to continuing to work to make our state an even better place to live!

The District 21 Chili Cook Off is next week! This event will be a ton of fun for everyone, you don't want to miss it!

Humbled and grateful for the voters of District 21 once again. Thank you to everyone who came out to vote yesterday. On to November!

Join us next Monday for a candidate forum! This is the best way to learn about the people who are running to represent you in the Idaho Legislature.

I was excited to be at the bridge signing ceremony at College of Western Idaho today, opening the pathway for the expansion of career centered learning only a couple of blocks from District 21.

It’s official – Idaho has banned “diversity statements” ACROSS STATE GOVERNMENT! I’m proud to sign this bill and ensure Idahoans are hired or accepted into college based on merit and hard work.

The District 21 legislative team is having a town hall this Friday. Come and ask us all your hardest questions about this session so far!

Fantastic progress towards a more affordable bachelor's degree in our state, thank you @cwidaho idahoednews.org/top-news/idaho…

I killed my first deer when I was 16 half a mile from where this buck went down. A lot has changed since then, but Idaho public lands are still incredible. They never make it easy, but there is nothing quite like filling the freezer with wild game from our state’s wildest places.

Great time today seeing my eastern Idaho colleagues at the Idaho Advanced Energy Consortium conference. Really cool things in the works over here that will change our energy landscape!

The massive one time investment we made in our parks this year is something we can be very proud of as a state.

Great tour of @cwidaho yesterday. Idaho's community colleges already offer an incredible return on investment for students, and Idaho Launch makes them even more affordable!

Awesome run this morning at the Meridian Friendship 5k. Great city, great community!

@JamesPetzke Where?

Saturday was a great day for a run through some of Idaho’s most incredible mountains.

Great time at Meridian Dairy Days parade yesterday!

Fire Ops yesterday was an awesome experience. Huge thanks to @ProFFIdaho for making this happen. Breaking down doors, dragging dummies through smoke filled rooms, putting out fires, climbing ladders, and more made me respect these public servants even more than I already did!

Spent my day at the Leadership in Nuclear Energy meeting. Learned a lot. Idaho is leading the charge in many ways, but we also have things we need to do better. Other states are realizing the potential, and we should make sure we capitalize on all the research we've been doing.
