Ben Fuhriman is a lifelong Idahoan who believes in hard work, family, and service. Born and raised in Ammon, Ben learned early what it means to roll up his sleeves and get things done. As a kid, his dad wouldn't let him go play until he'd filled a bucket with rocks from the garden—so Ben convinced his friends to help. Even then, he understood that teamwork and leadership go hand in hand.That work ethic carried him through life. An Eagle Scout, Hillcrest High School valedictorian, and a “Do it. Do it right. Do it right now.” kind of guy, Ben has always been driven to solve problems and help others succeed. He worked his way through school, served a two-year mission in Brazil, earned his bachelor's degree from BYU-Idaho, and a master's degree in family financial planning from Montana State University. He and his wife, Holli, met on the campaign trail while they were students at BYU-Idaho. Today, they live in Shelley with their four kids—all proud Idaho students.Professionally, Ben is a Certified Financial Planner™, Accredited Financial Counselor™, and Behavioral Financial Advisor™. He owns his own firm and every day helps local families and business owners make smart financial decisions and build stronger futures.As your current State Representative, Ben has brought that same pragmatic approach to the Idaho Legislature—fighting for fiscal responsibility, stronger families, and the Idaho values that make our communities thrive. Whether it's protecting taxpayers, supporting education, or defending personal freedom, Ben has worked to make sure Idaho stays the best place to live, work, and raise a family.Ben Fuhriman is running for re‑election because there's more work to do—and he's ready to keep delivering results that serve Idaho families first.Victory Over Sin is a show hosted by Mark Renick that addresses issues pertaining to returning citizens and the challenges they face coming out of incarceration.Victory Over Sin airs Saturdays at 12:30 pm.

On the KMOJ Morning Show, Esther Agbaje joins Freddie Bell and Chantel Sings to provide an inside look at the final days of the Minnesota legislative session, highlighting key priorities, ongoing negotiations, and what residents can expect before adjournment. She reflects on the fast-paced session, sharing progress made on housing, taxes, and community investments, while also outlining what major issues remain unresolved. A major focus of the conversation is the future of Hennepin County Medical Center (HCMC), where Rep. Agbaje discusses her proposed “Ballpark” funding solution and the urgency of bipartisan action to preserve this critical safety-net hospital. She also breaks down elements of the newly passed housing package, including rental assistance and pilot programs aimed at expanding housing stability and homeownership education. The discussion emphasizes the importance of community engagement, collaboration across party lines, and long-term solutions that support Minnesotans statewide.

On the KMOJ Morning Show, Freddie Bell speaks with Rep. Esther Agbaje about ongoing efforts at the State Capitol to pass meaningful gun violence prevention legislation. She outlines key proposals, including restrictions on assault weapons, bans on high-capacity magazines, and measures addressing emerging threats like untraceable “ghost guns.” While many Minnesotans support these policies, she explains that political divisions and a closely split legislature have made progress difficult. Rep. Agbaje also highlights solutions that are already working, such as red flag laws, and emphasizes the need for greater investment in community violence intervention and victim services to create safer communities.

Send us a textHarriet Drummond was first elected to the Anchorage School Board in 1994 where she served for nine years. She then represented West Anchorage on the Anchorage Assembly, leaving that post when she was elected to the Alaska State House in 2012 to represent Spenard, North Star, Forest Park, Huntington Park, north Midtown, Rogers Park and Geneva Woods for ten years. She chaired or co-chaired the House Education Committee for six years.In 2022, she lost her seat due to redistricting which left her in a largely new district and challenging another incumbent, Representative Zack Fields. Now, three years out of office, Harriet offers her reflections on her career and insight into issues that matter most to her, primarily public education. Her husband of 22 years, rural economic development consultant Elstun Lauesen, was yesterday's podcast guest; they have been integral members of the Alaska Democratic Party for many decades.

Send us a textAs a 13-year-old, former Alaska State House Representative Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins headed Vermont Governor Howard Dean's 2004 Presidential campaign in Alaska. He immersed himself in all things political as a high school student, but gave up politics when he got to college at Yale. During his junior year, he was contacted by several people encouraging him to return home to Sitka to run against the incumbent Republican serving in the state house seat, co-chair of the powerful House Finance committee Bill Thomas. Jonathan ran, won, and served for 10 years in the House where his proudest achievement was getting his HB 216 signed into law in 2014 which made 20 Native languages official Alaska state languages. Much of this interview draws from a 2018 Politico story that profiled three young Alaskans: Forrest Dunbar, John-Henry Heckendorn, and our guest Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins.
