The Idaho Freedom Caucus is a caucus within the Idaho Legislature.

The original Idaho Freedom Caucus was founded by Rep. Mike Kingsley and Rep. Bryan Zollinger in 2017.[1] That effort stalled in 2017 when conservatives failed to find consensus on a path forward[2] but was picked up again in 2022. The Idaho Freedom Caucus hired Scott Herndon as its executive director on July 17, 2024.[3]
