Phil McGrane is the Idaho Secretary of State. In this episode we spoke about the audits that are running across Idaho to verify election results as well as how elections across the state went. We had record numbers of voters, including a greater turnout than in 2020, which is a point of concern nationally for some people.

Debbie Critchfield is the Idaho Superintendent of Education and came in to talk about a tech safety partnership that has been created between Idaho and Fortify Your Kids. Public schools are passing out 1-1 tech at an unprecedented rate, and with this speed comes risk. The State of Idaho has realized that there is no way to make its tech devices 100% safe, so it is working to educate parents about what can and should be done at home to continue protecting school children from potential harms from government owned technology.

Gov. Brad Little is the 33rd Governor of Idaho, and has been working on several key issues over the last year: wildfire management, water calls, preserving women’s sports, federal government overreach, and more.
