Blaine Conzatti serves as the President of Idaho Family Policy Center. He has established a proven track record of achievements in the family policy movement—including successfully leading the charge to get the ‘Heartbeat’ bill, the “No Public Funds For Abortion Act,” and “Simon’s Law” enacted into Idaho law. He also directed the effort to mobilize the conservative grassroots in support of the first-in-the-nation “Fairness in Women’s Sports Act” protecting girls’ high school and college sports.

When he was nineteen years old, Blaine first encountered the saving grace of Jesus Christ, and subsequently left a career as an aspiring rock and jazz musician so he could study theology, government, and economics at Liberty University. Blaine soon learned that God’s truth impacts every area of life, and he quickly developed a passion for helping Christians fulfill the cultural commission to advocate these biblical truths in the public square.

Before joining Idaho Family Policy Center, Blaine previously worked for one of our allied state organizations, Family Policy Institute of Washington. Additionally, he spent several years teaching humanities, theology, and apologetics courses at a classical Christian high school in Fairfax, VA. He and his wife, Anna, enjoy raising their family in beautiful Treasure Valley.

As director of community engagement, Bruce leads our efforts in equipping Christians to fulfill the cultural commission. Previously, Bruce served as an Army chaplain and has also served in the local church as a senior pastor in Missouri and Florida.

Bruce is a graduate of Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, where he earned a Master of Divinity. He is also a graduate of Washburn University in Topeka, KS with a BA in Religious Studies and Communication Studies. His military education includes Chaplain Basic Officer Career Course and Captain’s Career Course. Additionally, he is a graduate of Master Resilience Training, Strong Bonds (family training), Combat Medical Ministry Course and more.

Bruce and his wife, Kimberly, like to ride bikes, hike, read and take the occasional motorcycle ride. They have two sons (Joshua and Shane) and four grandchildren.
