If you care about conservative ratings for the upcoming primary election, you might want to know the following facts:

Two years ago, Scott Herndon had a 94.5% on the Freedom Index and an 83.6% rating on the spending index. He had a No. 1 conservative rating in the Idaho Legislature, 94.9% from the Idaho Freedom Foundation, and 100% from CPAC.

This year, Senator James Woodward’s Idaho Freedom Index was F, 27.2% overall. Cornel Rasor’s average score was 94.5% conservative on the Idaho Freedom Index.

Rep. Mark Sauter’s overall record was 31.8%. Jane Sauter would vote conservative, much like Cornel Rasor.

If you care about less spending, good education for our children, and overall care for our District 1, you know how to vote.
