Herndon’s mailing filled with lies, misrepresentations

Scott Herndon claims to be a Christian, but he blatantly violates the Ninth Commandment: "Thou shalt not bear false witness" in his campaign mailings. These are full of lies and misrepresentations.

Herndon says that Jim Woodward "refused to give parents school choice."  The bill he refers to (HB293) would have Idaho taxpayers pay for private and religious schools, taking money from public schools under certain conditions. He claims Woodward supported teaching critical race theory (HB1193). This bill is for funding early childhood education and nowhere mentions CRT. A total lie.

One should also remember that Herndon inspired the lawsuit against the city of Sandpoint over the Festival at Sandpoint’s contracts with performers prohibiting guns at War Memorial Field, which the city owns and the Festival leases for two weeks each summer. The lawsuit was dismissed, and Bonner County taxpayers were stuck with the quarter million dollar bill.

Please refuse to support this extremist who wastes taxpayer money and misrepresents the truth. Vote for Jim Woodward, who is honest, practical, and straightforward; he supports public schools and Idaho infrastructure for the benefit of all Idahoans.
