Mormon[edit]

Although listed as Mormon, these sites call him an ex-Mormon-[1] and [www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1855704/posts]John celona 11:51, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Edits[edit]

I added his positions on spending/borrowing & taxes.

I added his PAC endorsement.

I removed the "Business" sentence since its dead link meant it was unverifiable, violatting Wikipedia standards.

I removed the "actively" sentence since it sounded promotional and didn't really say anything.

This is my first time editing a Wikipedia page. If you disagree with anything I did, please help me find a better way to say/do it, but don't just revert my changes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Exmartian (talk • contribs) 07:46, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Is it just me or does it seem like this isn't balanced at all? Living in idaho I can't say he is without controversy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 159.118.128.215 (talk) 00:51, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I just noticed an article on Scientific American^[1] about an action that Mike Simpson was most heavily involved in. Could this be added to his list of concerns? 173.166.93.49 (talk) 15:11, 30 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Next election?[edit]

These pages, for all of these current Congress office-holders, should give the exact date and timeframe for the next "re-election" campaign, if the individual decides to try to stay in office.

When is he "up" again, exactly? Starhistory22 (talk) 03:23, 1 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
