2025 Bill Analyses and Ratings
We reviewed and rated every bill (316) from the 2025 Idaho legislative session that received a vote in either the House or Senate (or both).
The only bills we did not rate were those that passed unanimously, because if nobody voted against them, they typically didn’t present a meaningful debate over principles. There would be no differentiation in the scores.
Every rating is based directly on the Idaho Republican Party Platform, which you can read here: https://idgop.org/party-resources/.
We did NOT rate legislators, we only rated LEGISLATION. If you are mad about the rating your legislator received, it’s because of how they voted in relation to the Idaho GOP Platform and nothing else.
