Herndon hasn't earned Idaho Senate seat

When you vote, please write in Steve Johnson for State Senate. He is a long-time resident of Bonner County who spent much of his working life as a teacher and principal in Bonner County schools. He is an honorable man.

His opponent is not. He ran the most despicable primary campaign I have seen in my 40-plus years in Bonner County, sending out campaign cards containing outright lies and misrepresentations about his primary opponent, Jim Woodward. For instance, he stated that Woodward voted to spend $6 million on teaching critical race theory. In actuality, the bill cited, SB 1193, provides $6 million for early childhood education. The content of that education isn't decided by state bureaucrats, but by local collaboratives consisting of “parents/families, early childhood educators, a representative from the K-12 school district, and at least three community participants from public, private, nonprofit, faith-based, government, health care, and civic organizations.” Nothing about CRT.

Herndon is supposed to be a good family man. Is telling lies a good example for one's family? Should he be elected, what other lies would he tell about legislation?

And how can he claim to be a North Idahoan when he wants to sell off our public land where we all fish, hunt, and hike?

Please write in Steve Johnson for State Senate and fill in the oval.
