Former Idaho Senator Seeks Senate Seat
Todd Achilles, an independent candidate from Boise, is running against three-term Idaho Republican Senator Risch.
"The core issue that I hear again and again from folks on the right, the left or in the middle, is it’s the rigged economy, and it’s just not working,"
Achilles aims to address the issue of a "rigged economy" and promote economic populism. He estimates that about 60% of Idahoans do not earn a livable wage and advocates for breaking up monopolies and restoring livable wages.
Achilles believes that if he and other independent Senate candidates win, they can take control of the chamber and use their tie-breaking power to set its agenda.
