Make sure candidates represent Idaho values

| May 17, 2024 1:00 AM

The National Education Association is the largest labor union and one of the largest activist groups in the U.S. It promotes abortion, same-sex marriage, gun control, and the LGBTQ+ agenda.  Students are the target of the "trans NEA" agenda.  

Jim Woodward, Mark Sauter and Chuck Lowman promote increased funding for public schools and are supported by the NEA. Woodward voted along with 21 Democrats against Idaho’s fairness in women's sports, claiming it "bad law.” This law, along with laws restricting sex-altering surgery and Idaho refusing to alter birth certificates to men claiming to be women, all have been challenged in court by the "transgender agenda." A challenge by this agenda does not make "law bad."

Mark Sauter, along with 11 Democrats, voted this year against HB 421 (passed into law) creating clear definitions of male and female. What is wrong with removing any possibility of ambiguity on a subject that is so fundamental to life?

The LGBTQ+ agenda does not represent Idaho values nor should those accepting their support represent us.
