TODD ACHILLES
Independent candidate for U.S. Senate in Idaho. An Army veteran and former state legislator running to break the two-party duopoly and restore institutional integrity — answerable to Idahoans, not the party bosses.
Operational Background
The Case for Independence
"The current debt and dysfunction are the direct result of a corrupt two-party system that ignores working families in favor of special interests. Independents are the only path by which we eliminate the corrupting incentives and restore an institution that supports good policy."
The Core Problem
"Independents are the only path by which we restore an institution that supports good policy."

Where He Stands
Priorities for Idaho
Anti-Corruption Reform
Strict term limits and donor transparency. Restructuring campaign finance to end special-interest capture and restore accountability to voters.
Monopoly & Antitrust
Aggressive antitrust policy for the digital economy, protecting Idaho's small businesses and farmers from platform and corporate dominance.
Middle-Class Economy
Targeted relief on housing and childcare costs, and wages that keep pace with productivity so working Idaho families can get ahead.
The Race
Why It Matters
-
A real alternative in Idaho's Senate race — answerable to Idahoans, not party leadership.
-
An Army veteran and former state legislator with a proven bipartisan record.
-
Reform-first: term limits, donor transparency, and antitrust for working families.
The Opportunity
Idaho's Senate seat has long been a safe partisan hold. Todd offers the first serious independent-veteran alternative — a chance to send a reformer to Washington who owes nothing to either party machine.
