Motorcycle accident in middle of congressional campaign

Republican congressional candidate Russ Fulcher suffered broken ribs and minor scrapes after losing control of his motorcycle. Fulcher is expected to make a full recovery.

In a campaign press release, officials say Fulcher was riding his brother's motorcycle on a trip to visit his wife's family in Melba. He slipped on gravel and laid the motorcycle down. He was wearing full body protective gear and a helmet at the time of the accident.

"I am thankful for the Lord's hand of protection this weekend," Fulcher said in a statement. "Remember, ALWAYS wear a helmet!"

Last week, Fulcher won his party's nomination after a bruising, seven-way Republican primary to succeed Congressman Raul Labrador in Idaho's 1st Congressional District.

His team says they expects he'll be back on the campaign trail soon. [Fulcher ran for governor but withdrew in 2017 to run for Congress and endorsed Raul Labrador].

Overturn presidential election due to pandemic voting rules.

Justice Fulcher wrote the Court's decision on Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton: "TX v. PA, GA, MI & WI" on Dec 11, 2020:

Summary of lawsuit, Dec. 7:: The 2020 election suffered from significant and unconstitutional irregularities including:

Supreme Court Order, Dec. 11: The State of Texas's motion is denied for lack of standing under Article III of the Constitution. Texas has not demonstrated a judicially cognizable interest in the manner in which another State conducts its elections. All other pending motions are dismissed as moot.

Texas Tribune analysis, Dec. 11:: Trump--and Republicans across the country--had pinned their hopes on the Texas suit. In a series of tweets, Trump called it "the big one" and later added, "it is very strong, ALL CRITERIA MET." If the court had heard the case, Sen. Ted Cruz said he would have argued it, at the request of Trump.

Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas indicated they would have allowed Texas to bring the case but said they would "not grant other relief." In a series of tweets after the ruling, Trump raged against the decision, which he called "a disgraceful miscarriage of justice."

Endorsed Endorsed by Donald Trump/MAGA during presidency.

Fulcher is endorsed by Trump/MAGA endorsement list

Endorsements by Donald Trump, implying support of Trump's agenda and electoral style. The phrase "Make America Great Again" was popularized in Trump's 2015 book Time to Get Tough:Making America Great Again. It is the campaign slogan embroidered on the ubiquitous red caps seen at Trump rallies (which after Trump's presidency, became known as "MAGA rallies").

Oppose certification of the 2020 Presidential election.

Fulcher voted YEA blocking certification of the Electoral vote

Explanation of 1/6/21 Electoral Certification, by Emily Brooks, Washington Examiner:Sen. Ted Cruz and Rep. Paul Gosar led an objection to counting Electoral College votes from the state of Arizona, the first formal objection to state results in a series of moves that will delay the certification of Joe Biden as the winner of the 2020 presidential election over President Trump. Cruz is advocating for an `emergency 10-day audit` of election returns in disputed states. The usually ceremonial joint session of Congress that convenes to count and accept Electoral College votes will be put on hold as the House and Senate separately debate the objection.
