"Larry Craig, reporting from your nation's capital..."

One of my goals as a Senator is to encourage citizens to be involved in the political and legislative process. Providing Idahoans with accurate and timely information about Senate action is one important aspect of meeting this goal.

The multimedia files available here, concerning topics affecting Idaho, the West, and the Nation, are updated frequently. Additional multimedia files available for download from my website include The Washington Report, a biweekly, bilingual video digest produced for television to keep Idahoans informed of the latest news from the Senate, and my Podchat, a radio-style program on which I answer questions submitted by Idahoans.

If you need assistance downloading media players and plug-ins, try the Media Tools below. Also below, I have provided links to a variety of websites that feature audio or video content. These Media Links are a tiny fraction of the growing wealth of multimedia content available online. If you know of a site I might be interested in posting here, I hope you will contact me to let me know about it.
