Sixty percent of Idaho land has been set aside for generations of Americans to enjoy as public land. This land belongs to all of us and it is a big reason people love living in Idaho. A large majority of Idahoans want our public land to stay public for all to enjoy.

Candidates with extreme agendas have a different plan. They have created a movement to “take back” Federal land in order to extract wealth and sell the land. Scott Herndon is a particularly strong proponent of this philosophy.

This is why we need to vote in EVERY election.
