Dan Foreman

Foreman graduated from Bradley University in 1975. He served in the United States Air Force for 30 years, and later as a police officer with the Moscow Police Department.

Foreman was elected to the Senate in 2016, narrowly defeating incumbent Democratic Senator Dan Schmidt.

Foreman introduced several bills to the legislature during his first weeks in office, including one that would "classify abortion as first-degree murder — for the mother, as well as the doctor who performs the operation — except in cases where the mother’s life is endangered." He also introduced a bill that would reduce Idaho's sales tax from 6% to 5%, as well as two other tax bills.

Foreman refers to himself as "a Christian, conservative Republican." He does not believe in the separation of church and state.

Foreman denies climate change, referring to it as a "scam" and saying, "I know credible scientists in the former Soviet Union who have concluded the Earth is actually cooling."

Foreman and his wife, Maria, have 7 children and 20 grandchildren.
