Involvement with the Oath Keepers

In late September 2021, it was revealed that Rep. Kidwell's name was among the some 38,000 people whose names appear on a membership roster of the Oath Keepers; a far-right militia organization, following a hack of the group's internal data. Rep. Kidwell did not comment on whether he is a member of the group or not.[4] However, records show that Kidwell has been on the Oath Keepers' roster since at least 2012.[5]
