Herndon voted against help for veterans

In 2023 and 2024, Scott Herndon voted against funding Idaho’s Division of Veterans Services. He was one of only nine senators voting against veterans. This division supports county veteran service officers in helping veterans in their area obtain the benefits they need. Obviously, Herndon does not appreciate the role veterans have played in assuring the freedoms he and we enjoy.

As a veteran, I am supporting Jim Woodward, a 20-plus-year U.S. Navy veteran, to replace Herndon and assure continuing support for Idaho’s veterans. If you are a veteran, a family member of a veteran, or someone who appreciates veterans’ service, I urge you to do the same on May 21 when you vote.
