To the Editor:
Thankfully, I was able to take some time away
from work to attend the candidates forum along
with my wife at Bonners Ferry High School back
on the evening of April 11. It seemed there were
several decent candidates vying for various
positions on stage at the event. As for those
running for the Idaho Senate District 1, one
individual stood out in particular. His name is
Scott Herndon.
In large part, he stood out due to the clarity
with which he speaks and his eagerness to bring
up the rules(boundaries) that our public
servants are bound to support and abide by.
As a good many of us understand, often elected
officials begin their terms by making a promise
or taking the oath, a public promise to support
and defend the United States Constitution and or
the state constitution of the elected
individual. Taking the oath should not be
perceived as some sort of antiquated formality,
but rather giving one's word, a promise to
actually follow the rules. Scott's
eagerness to consistently bring up those rules,
(i.e., the Constitution) and the relevance to
the current event political issues that were
discussed that evening, makes me confident that
when in office, Scott Herndon honestly intends
to keep his word and to actually abide by them.
His platform:
To audit the Idaho state government on its
compliance with the Idaho state constitution and
the United States Constitution.
To actually sit down and evaluate each and every
piece of new legislation through the lens of the
United States and Idaho constitutions.
To reduce the size of the governmental
footprint.
To be a watchman for our constitutional rights.
His experience: He is a former Bonner County
jail Chaplain. Among his opponents, he is the
only one with a finance degree, which would be
helpful considering that every bill has a fiscal
impact and, when in committee, must be evaluated
by the committee for its financial implications
on the state budget. Scott has 16 years
experience as an auditor, and was an accountant
and software programmer for very large
corporations.
Scott is a father of eight, a husband,
homeschooler, home builder, woodworker,
construction company owner, and
public speaker.
It is with trust and confidence that I endorse
Scott Herndon for Idaho State Senate District 1.
