I recommend Heather Scott for District 1 representative.

I keep wondering why such big money is supporting her opponent, who claims to be a conservative Republican. Why would a “conservative Republican” run against Rep. Scott? What has she done that causes him to feel she needs replaced? Defended our Second Amendment rights? Set up the Growing Freedom website so constituents can offer input on how we’d like to be governed? Voted to reduce taxes? Recommended reducing the size and scope of state government? Supported state rather than federal control of our public lands? Supported our right to free speech and religious freedom, even in our businesses? Supported our right to dreedom in our persons — in other words, control over what is forcibly put into ours and our children’s bodies and minds? Vocally condemned cronyism in Boise?

All these, Rep. Scott has voted for since she has been in office. And why did her opponent tell voters to register unaffiliated or Republican before March 9? Wouldn’t conservative Republicans already be unaffiliated or Republican? Please vote May 15 for Heather Scott, because apparently her opponent does not care about any of the above, and has some other agenda.
