James Ruchti

Representative James Ruchti is an army veteran, small business owner, and proud fifth-generation Idahoan. In the legislature, James has taken the lead in pushing back against radical GOP policies and working to find solutions that help everyday Idahoans and their families – like protecting tenants from predatory fees, supporting small businesses, and securing high-quality education. James is ready to return to the legislature to continue building a brighter future for Idaho.
