Idaho Farm Labor and Immigration Influence Map

Who paid, who lobbied, and how they voted on Idaho farm labor and immigration policy, including the 2025 and 2026 immigration enforcement bills. Dairy, agriculture, and related industries are here, along with any other donor who gave to the same committees. Every entry comes from a public filing or public record, and every one links to its source.

    Methodology

    Everything on this map comes from records anyone can pull: campaign finance reports filed with the Idaho Secretary of State (Sunshine and Tally Idaho), federal filings, lobbyist registrations, Idaho Legislature bill pages and roll calls, and published organization documents. Each record is one documented relationship: a contribution, an independent expenditure, a lobbying registration, a role, a floor vote, or an event appearance. Amounts are what the filer reported. Dates are the dates or date ranges in the filing.

    A line on this map means a public record exists. That is all it means. It does not show that anyone did anything improper, and a contribution is not proof a vote was bought. Individual donors appear only where a public campaign finance filing lists them.

    What is not on this map

    Anything that could not be verified against a primary public source is not here. Research turned up 13 possible links that could not be confirmed, mostly donors and businesses that matched only by mailing address, plus one possible affiliation between a contributing committee and a national dairy cooperative. Those links, and entities that appeared only through them, are excluded from the map and the downloads. Any of them will be added if a primary record confirms it.
