As we get closer to the primary elections it is important that the citizens of Idaho know just who is helping them and who is hurting them in the legislature. Many of you don’t have the time or maybe even the energy after a long day at work to look for the information that the […]
Boise, Idaho – February 11, 2022 – Sarah Clendenon announces candidacy for State Representative in Idaho Legislative District 15, Seat B. Clendenon is the State Secretary of the Constitution Party of Idaho as well as a founding contributor to the creation of the Ada County Central Committee, CP-Idaho.

I have spent an hour as often as possible watching the Idaho Joint Finance Appropriations Committee (JFAC) proceedings. Without making comments about the process of setting a budget, the absolute disconnect between economic reality and public policy is astonishing. During the course of the political pandemic all fifty States have seen a surplus in their […]
I listened on Idaho in Session to the JFAC Budget Committee hearings and the questioning of the Presidents of Idaho’s State Funded Universities. The President of the Idaho State Board of Education Kurt Liebeck admitted that the State Board of Education “hasn’t spent one second talking about Critical Race Theory (CRT)”. I doubt that Mr. […]
House passes teacher health insurance bill after overwhelmingly positive debate The headline above from the Eye on Boise Column written by Betsy Russell caught my attention. I watched the floor debate on Public Broadcasting and then went back and read some of the committee testimony last week. A lot of things don’t add up. What […]
My friends, Branden Durst and I worked on a bill to end state funding for abortion providers last year and we were successful in having it become law.

Three things make earth unquiet. And four she cannot brook. The godly Agar counted them And put them in a book – Proverbs 30: (Author insert) I watched with sadness and disappointment the Idaho House of Representatives Hearing on the Ethics Committee recommendation for censoring Rep. Priscilla Giddings. The officious sanctimonious stench emanating from the […]
Looks like the taxpayers of Idaho just got shortchanged again as the special legislative session yielded nothing but a resolution condemning President Biden’s vaccine mandates. IACI wins again as 30 bills were presented to the legislature in this special session and as usual, all these bills were either killed by committee chairman or killed in […]
This is the original transcript so any typos are not ours but made by the recording secretary THANK YOU. >> MR. SPEAKER, THANK YOU. FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES, FOR ALL THE HEARTFELT, IN-DEPTH COMMENTARY. I WILL TELL YOU, THIS IS PRETTY SURREAL TO HAVE THAT MANY CAMERAS ON YOU IN FRONT OF IDAHO’S BEST AND BRIGHTEST […]
