IFG honors the legacy of former U.S. Senator Steve Symms, who passed away Thursday at the age of 86. We echo Governor Little’s sentiment that “Senator Steve Symms was a true patriot — a military veteran and dedicated public servant whose roots in agriculture helped inform his decisions back in D.C., representing Idaho’s interests.” Condolences to Symms’ friends, loved ones, and colleagues who had the pleasure, as we did, to work with Senator Symms to represent the best interests of Idaho.
