Communist China must be STOPPED from acquiring US land. I signed a bill this year BANNING the sale of Idaho land to foreign governments. Now, I join Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders and my fellow Republican Governors in calling on the federal government to start pulling their weight.

17 governors call on Biden, Yellen, congressional leaders to prevent foreign adversaries from buying US land

"Seventeen governors are calling on federal leaders, including President Biden, to prevent foreign adversaries like China from buying U.S. land, Fox News Digital has learned.

Republican Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders is leading a letter, with 16 of her fellow GOP governors, to Biden, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and congressional leaders in both chambers to tackle the growing issue of China buying American land, including farmland.

"Numerous governors and state legislatures have taken action to protect our citizens from the imminent national security threat of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)," the governors wrote.

"But national security demands a national response from national leaders," they continued. "The responsibility is now with you – follow the lead of our States and prevent CCP amassing of American lands."

The governors noted that it "is no secret the communist regime in China is acquiring swaths of real property throughout the United States" and that very recently, a subsidiary of a Chinese-controlled company "bought two hundred and seventy acres of land in Green Charter Township, Michigan, not far from the Camp Grayling National Guard facility."

"Unfortunately, the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States declined to block – or even review – this plainly alarming transaction," the governors wrote.

The Republican state executives said that "states have stepped into the breach to protect this country’s most valued resource" – the American people – while the Biden administration "has failed to address the threat at hand.""

Once again, Idaho leads in education freedom - ranking #1 in best new open enrollment law! We’re helping Idaho parents choose the best public school for their child, regardless of their zip code.

Idaho further advances education freedom

"Idaho parents have even more school choice options on top of a long list of education alternatives in the State of Idaho after I signed Senate Bill 1125 into law this year.

Senate Bill 1125 allows parents to send their child to any public school in Idaho regardless of where they live. The current law restricts parents’ ability to choose the public school that is best for their child, and Senate Bill 1125 modernizes the law to give parents more choice in public education.

Idaho parents already benefit from an abundance of school choice options, and this new law expands their ability to choose the best public school for their child, regardless of their zip code.

Idaho is all about school choice options that make sense for our state, and Senate Bill 1125 fits right into our responsible, transparent, accountable approach to expanding school choice.
