As a Boise resident who visits relatives in Boundary County throughout the year, I feel obligated to write to the good citizens of Boundary County regarding their current Senator in the Idaho Senate.
With the Primary election upcoming on May 21, I would expect a drove of Herndon mailers defaming his opponent to be finding their way to your mailbox. On my recent visit last week, I found this to be true, as Herndon has sent several mailers woefully attacking and defaming Jim Woodward. As a devout Christian Patriot, Herndon’s actions are contrary to the teaching of the Bible and profoundly hypocritical.
Demonizing an individual with blatant lies, especially for a Christian, is especially despicable. I would hope “real” Christians would re-think their support for such a misguided soul.
Don’t be fooled — Herndon’s mailers are all lies and deceit. He is good at what he does — telling lies, manipulating the truth and deceiving people.
Most people don’t know Herndon and never will. Herndon does not represent 95-percent of the people in Boundary County. Herndon is a pawn for the phony Idaho Freedom Foundation, a far-right radical group supported by wealthy out-of-state anti-government, religious fanatics. His allegiance and his votes are only for the IFF.
Herndon has no interest in your livelihoods, your health care, your schools — things that are important to the normal resident. My guess is that he knows almost nothing about Boundary County.
What has Herndon done for you over the past two years? Three achievements come to mind — 1) Herndon has forced hundreds of Idaho doctors to moved away from our state, 2) Herndon has now made it possible for a person to sue their local library, and 3) Herndon has made it permissible to take your guns to the Sandpoint Festival.
Most of what Herndon has accomplished over the past two years has had a negative effect on Boundary County residents. Herndon doesn’t work well with most legislators, who just ignore him and consider him a waste of time. Herndon, with his fascist mindset, has no ability to compromise nor govern, and his smug arrogance is highly unappealing.
Herndon is anti-Boundary County and I hope people come to see this.
What is good news is that past Senator Jim Woodward is running to unseat Herndon. Jim’s victory in this race would be a big boost for Boundary County and very beneficial for its residents.
Jim is a product of Boundary County. Jim well understands your community, fostered by his upbringing here. An honest, decent, hard-working man, he is genuine and truly cares about jobs, schools, health care, government accountability, etc. — issues that affect your lives and livelihoods. He is a smart conservative with good common sense. He works well with other legislators and always keeps your best interest in mind. He is always available to talk with residents and listen respectfully to your concerns.
Unlike slimy Herndon, Jim does not lie, manipulate, scam or cheat. Unlike Herndon the pawn, Jim has no allegiance to the vile IFF. Unlike hypocrite Herndon, Jim will represent all people in District 1.
Jim Woodward was an excellent Senator for four years, and if you elect him again, you will again truly be represented in Boise.
