Just what is Herndon talking about?

| April 30, 2024 1:00 AM

Senator Herndon has mailed out two postcards in his primary campaign for the Idaho Senate seat for District 1 against Jim Woodward.

The first postcard attacked former Senator Woodward for not addressing immigration. Not exactly the top issue in North Idaho. I was curious. Why choose that as a leading issue?

The second postcard made everything clear. There Senator Herndon chose as his issues: immigration (again), transgender in sports, and government spending.

Better, but not exactly the top issues on my mind which are: our hospital's closing of healthcare services for women, messing with our library, and funding and supporting public schools.

But it is not that surprising that Senator Herndon stayed away from the issues the matter up here. He knows his positions on these issues are not winners.

And not surprising that on the other side of the postcard, the headline reads, “Stop the Steal.” I'll give you one guess which out-of-state politicians and organizations are dictating to him (and funding) his campaign? If you're right you'll win a big prize:

Jim Woodward as our State Senator. Vote for Jim on May 21 in the Republican primary. Unaffiliated voters should register as Republicans at the polls to receive a Republican ballot.
