HAZEL: Not a true Republican

We elected Elaine Price in 2022 because she supports defending “faith, family, freedom”, and the Constitution. Elaine stands for supporting laws to protect children from radical gender ideology. Elaine fights for school choice so parents, not government, decide what’s best for their kids. She fought to require age verification for pornographic websites and to keep political agendas out of the classroom. Elaine passed legislation so criminals can’t profit off their crimes, so victims and families are protected instead.

In 2020, her opponent, Christa Hazel, a registered Republican, changed her affiliation to an Independent actively supporting Joe Biden while opposing President Donald Trump. A CDA Press article of August 18, 2020, quotes her saying the Biden campaign is one she can relate to more as parents and citizens. It is noted that Hazel thinks Kamala Harris is one of the most qualified vice presidential candidates the country has seen.

According to the Secretary of States’ website, Hazel has accepted donations into her 2026 campaign from a farm that was raided by the feds for employing a violent illegal alien who previously strangled his wife. She also received money from the Dairy Industry who admitted to regularly employing illegal aliens. We can easily see Christa Hazel supporting Biden immigration policies to protect the illegal alien workforce that her campaign now benefits from. She now affiliates herself with North Idaho Republicans who meet behind blocked doors guarded by police. Is this a lifelong Republican?

Meanwhile, Rep. Elaine Price has been a hawk in Idaho’s legislature seeking out wasteful spending. Elaine isn’t afraid to vote on tough budgeting decisions while in Boise and answer tough community questions while in our town halls. Our vote goes to Elaine.
