Below is a brief explanation of the votes questioned by the BCRCC. I consider my votes to represent traditional Republican values of fiscal responsibility, support of business, less regulation, and personal freedom and liberty.

HB 314, AKA the library Bill, would have added a private cause of action against every library in the State. It would have empowered civil actions for a broadly written policy. I don’t want kids exposed to harmful materials or things, nor does anyone else. We have elected library boards and school boards to develop local policy and operations. The GOP platform states government is best when its closest to the people. We also have current obscenity statutes and penalties in Idaho Code.
