About Lt. Governor BedkeThe people of Idaho elected Scott Bedke as the state’s 44th Lieutenant Governor in November 2022. He officially took office on January 6, 2023.Scott is a proud Idaho native and a 4th generation cattle rancher. Born in Twin Falls and a graduate of Oakley High School, Scott’s Gem State heritage stretches back even farther to the 1870s, when his great grandfather homesteaded in the Oakley Basin. After earning his Bachelor of Science in Finance from Brigham Young University in 1981, Scott returned to his hometown where he was later elected to serve on Oakley’s City Council.That first step into public service ignited Scott’s passion for working with and for his community. It was in 2000 that Scott was elected as a Representative of District 27 to be a voice for the citizens of Cassia and Minidoka Counties. During his 11 terms in the Idaho State House, Scott served on the Joint Finance & Appropriations Committee, the Revenue & Taxation Committee, the Resources & Conservation Committee, and the Transportation & Defense Committee. He also chaired the Economic Outlook & Revenue Assessment Committee and served on the Credit Rating Enhancement Committee.In 2012, Scott was elected as the 41st Speaker of the House, a role that he held with such sensibility and civility that he became the longest-serving Speaker in Idaho’s history. Scott is proud to have been directly involved in setting policies that make Idaho what it is today.Scott has been happily married to his wife, Sarah, for 45 years. Together the two are trying to keep up with their four children and 16 grandchildren. The 5th and 6th generations of Bedkes in Idaho are a big reason why Scott decided to run for Lt. Governor, to protect Idaho’s future and to give back to the state that has given his family so very much.Scott is committed to maintaining the Idaho Way. While this includes a pledge for a limited government, a quality education for every student, and a plan for our state’s water supply, it also means keeping the values that matter most, like being a good neighbor, at the forefront.Here We Have Idaho is a local radio show heard on KSPD 790 AM and 94.5 FM at 4pm on Wednesdays and Fridays.  Here We Have Idaho is a  show focusing on celebrating Idaho and all that makes Idaho great.  Hear We Have Idaho will focus on the issues and events that impact Idaho’s citizens and families.  Each week we will visit those that are writing Idaho’s story and keeping the spirit of our state song alive with hosts Victor Miller and  Tom Luna.https://www.790kspd.com/here-we-have-idaho/

monte stilesI am not a photographer by education or formal training. I often describe myself as an “accidental photographer” since most of what I know is self-taught - born out of a pure love of the outdoors and the beauty of creation.My journey into photography began near the end of my career as a federal drug prosecutor where I supervised the Organized Crime/Drug Enforcement Task Force – a group of agents, analysts and prosecutors who investigated and prosecuted high-level drug trafficking organizations. During that time, I was an eyewitness to some of the darkest aspects of society. Although my legal career was exciting and challenging, the investigation of these cases put me in direct contact with all forms of greed, addiction, violence, abuse and neglect of children, and the loss of dignity, health, freedom, and even life itself. Without recognizing it, all of those things weighed on my heart, mind and soul in ways that I couldn’t imagine at the time.It took a mid-life crisis to bring me into the world of serious photography when I realized that decades of exposure to the darkest side of humanity had impacted my ability to recognize many of life’s simple pleasures.Up to that point in my life, my wife and I had experienced blessings that are found in a blur of family activities – ballgames, school, church, Scouts, camping, hiking, birthdays, holidays, and occasional vacations. But as our children left home to attend college and raise families of their own, I found myself working longer hours and enjoying life less.Now, many years later, I am blessed with opportunities to speak and train at local, state, regional and national conferences on a variety of subjects relating to the law, law enforcement, drug education, building strong communities, protecting and nurturing children, and photography.Because of my law enforcement background, many of my presentations require me to describe the grim realities of bad choices that negatively impact children, families and communities, but these opportunities also allow me to provide positive messages and solutions that can overcome feelings of hopelessness, pain, surrender, and despair.This is especially important in working directly with youth (ranging from those who are severely “at risk” to kids who seem blessed with every opportunity in life). At both ends of this spectrum I find that young people are eager to be “seen” AND heard by adults, and when given the right information and encouragement, they become eager to serve AND to lead. Increasingly, my youth workshops include teaching about photography and the great outdoors. My best days involve a photography/nature workshop followed by an outdoor excursion with a busload of kidsOne of my favorite photographers, Galen Rowell once said: “You only get one sunrise and one sunset a day, and you only get so many days on the planet. A good photographer does the math and doesn't waste either.”I hope that you enjoy each sunrise and sunset as you journey through a wonderful life.Here We Have Idaho is a local radio show heard on KSPD 790 AM and 94.5 FM at 4pm on Wednesdays and Fridays.  Here We Have Idaho is a  show focusing on celebrating Idaho and all that makes Idaho great.  Hear We Have Idaho will focus on the issues and events that impact Idaho’s citizens and families.  Each week we will visit those that are writing Idaho’s story and keeping the spirit of our state song alive with hosts Victor Miller and  Tom Luna.https://www.790kspd.com/here-we-have-idaho/

My name is Julie Van Orden, and I am a lifelong resident of Bingham County. I grew up and worked on a farm where my parents raised potatoes and wheat. I moved pipe in the fields and worked during potato planting and harvesting seasons. I graduated from Blackfoot High School, attended College of Southern Idaho in Twin Falls and received a certification from the ISU College of Vocational Technology.As a child growing up on a potato farm, it was not uncommon to cool off in the summer by using an empty potato cellar as a playground. Running horses in the cellar as we played “pony express” was great entertainment. This was my experience as a child growing up in the Rising River area of Bingham County. Things have changed but there are still some common themes, playing outdoors and riding horses are good for the soul.I married Garth Van Orden in 1978, and we began our own farming operation in 1982. We have four children-Shaun, Dillon, Jason (deceased) and Lisa. Our two oldest sons are partners in our farming business and our daughter currently lives in Kyoto, Japan where she works for an IT university. My community involvement includes serving on the Snake River School District Board of Trustees (10 years). In 2012 I was elected to the Idaho House of Representatives and served for 6 years (Chair of the House Education Committee 2 years). I was then appointed to the Idaho Public Charter School Commission and the Idaho Potato Commission. As a substitute I filled in for former Senator Steve Bair during his last year in office before being elected to the Idaho Senate in the spring of 2022. During this term I was appointed to the Finance Committee and as the chair for the Health and Welfare Committee.Being involved in local and state government has been an important part of my life, but I delayed serving outside of my home until a later time because my family has always been and still is my most important focus.I am a member of the Republican Party because I believe that government overreach needs to be controlled. Regulations should only be used when they are a benefit to citizens. Making sure there is accountability attached to public dollars is critical in implementing programs that are useful and meaningful. I strongly support parental involvement in education, I know the 2nd Amendment is a right that is never to be infringed, and I am well versed in the agricultural needs of our community and state.Here is my personal email address ([email protected]) and my phone number (208-684-4052).Here We Have Idaho is a local radio show heard on KSPD 790 AM and 94.5 FM at 4pm on Wednesdays and Fridays.  Here We Have Idaho is a  show focusing on celebrating Idaho and all that makes Idaho great.  Hear We Have Idaho will focus on the issues and events that impact Idaho’s citizens and families.  Each week we will visit those that are writing Idaho’s story and keeping the spirit of our state song alive with hosts Victor Miller and  Tom Luna.https://www.790kspd.com/here-we-have-idaho/

Idaho Tough on CrimeMy name is Robert Gillis. I am 54 years old, and have been married to my wife and best friend for sixteen outstanding years. Together, we are raising three incredible children, two who currently attend Boise State University, and one who just began her journey as a freshman in high school. Our family is deeply rooted in this community, and we truly love calling Eagle our home. We bought a home in the Treasure Valley in 2018, and moved to Eagle in early 2020. Service has always been at the heart of who I am. I currently serve as the President of Idaho Tough On Crime, where we have volunteered/worked alongside state legislators and law enforcement professionals on law-and-order legislation. I have authored and supported legislation in our state, and have routinely testified in front of various Idaho House and Senate Committees. I am also a Board Member with CrimeStoppers of Idaho, and a peer support team member for Courageous Survival, which is an organization that connects first responders, military veterans, and their families with vital mental health resources.Before stepping into these roles, I was dedicated to my twenty-five year career in law enforcement. I worked the majority of my career in our criminal street gang unit, working weapons cases, narcotics cases, violent assault cases, and organized crime. I also worked on some public corruption cases, completed Homicide Investigators School, Gang Investigators School, and Behavioral Analysis Training with the FBI at UCLA. Subsequently, I was assigned to two separate federal task forces with the FBI and DEA, and I was also assigned to a state organized crime task force. During those assignments I was certified to author wiretap warrants, and monitored wiretaps of suspects in our cases.I was also assigned a collateral duty on our agency's Emergency Operations Bureau Incident Management Team One for almost eleven years. As part of that assignment, I routinely completed Federal Emergency Management Agency certification and training. As a result of that collateral assignment, I deployed to many large scale brush fires, flooding events, and events of civil unrest. I received many commendations throughout my career for exemplary performance from our department executives, other agency chiefs, mayors, and city council members. More specifically, I was awarded two very coveted Distinguished Service Awards and Medals, along with a Commendable Restraint Award for an incident I was involved in with an armed suicidal subject, where I was able to avoid shooting him by using sound tactical communications skills.I eventually retired at the rank of Sergeant, after serving my last eight plus years in that capacity. Prior to my career in law enforcement, I spent more than five years in emergency medical services. While my law enforcement and medical professional careers have come to a close, my commitment to public service has not.I remain dedicated to giving back to our community, staying involved, and helping to lead with integrity and heart. Eagle is our home, and I am committed to working hard to ensure it remains one of the best places in Idaho for families to live, work, and thrive!Here We Have Idaho is a local radio show heard on KSPD 790 AM and 94.5 FM at 4pm on Wednesdays and Fridays.  Here We Have Idaho is a  show focusing on celebrating Idaho and all that makes Idaho great.  Hear We Have Idaho will focus on the issues and events that impact Idaho’s citizens and families.  Each week we will visit those that are writing Idaho’s story and keeping the spirit of our state song alive with hosts Victor Miller and  Tom Luna.https://www.790kspd.com/here-we-have-idaho/
