Why I’m Running for District 24B State Representative

We’ve all dismissed the dire warnings from older generations about this nation spiraling into chaos, chalking it up to exaggeration or rose-tinted memories. Yet, with a national debt soaring to $37.8 trillion as of October 2025 and annual interest payments devouring $1 trillion, Congress exhibits no resolve to curb expenditures, alleviate tax burdens, or confine itself to its constitutional mandate. Historical precedents and straightforward reasoning foretell an inevitable catastrophe—not imminent, perhaps not within Gen Z’s span, but perilously probable for their descendants.

States remain the ultimate safeguard for individual liberties. Indeed, state governance plays a primary role in protecting citizens and preserving their rights. The state’s paramount—and singular—obligation is to protect life, liberty, and property. For Idaho to fulfill this enduringly, our administration must achieve fiscal stability, uphold what is verifiably true, aesthetically beautiful, and morally good, while adhering strictly to our God given freedom. These imperatives demand representatives who embody these convictions through action. Regrettably, my opponent has flagrantly deviated from this path, endorsing virtually every expenditure proposal and consistently championing legislation that inflates government far beyond its rightful scope.

We recognize the term RINO—Republican In Name Only—but the true threat to Idaho’s conservative ethos and freedom isn’t just influxes of liberal from California, Oregon, or Washington. It’s the entrenched establishment, masquerading as “moderates,” who boast of bipartisan compromise. When voters select a Republican, they believe the individual will vote in fidelity to the party’s platform. The platform is a statement of beliefs. When one calls themselves a Republican, that means they hold the same beliefs. Republicans must unwaveringly align with core principles; failure to do so disqualifies one from being a Republican. Has my opponent held Republican principles across his ten years?

The National Republican Party’s verdict is unequivocal: no, earning him a dismal D grade during the 2025 session. Their analyses reveal he opposed initiatives to “defeat inflation and swiftly reduce prices” 58.2% of the time, opposed efforts to “seal the border and halt the migrant invasion” in half of the instances, and thwarted measures to “forge the greatest economy in history” 61.54% of the time.

Most egregiously, he never supported Republican proposals to “revive the American dream and restore affordability.” In aggregate, he aligned with the National GOP principle a mere 68.49%—a failing performance (https://www.gopscorecard.com).

The Idaho Republican Party assigns him an outright F in District 24, with Republican aligned votes at just 56.8%. The GOP scrutinized votes on foundational issues such as self-defense rights, medical confidentiality, electoral integrity, and resistance to tax escalations or federal intrusions (https://idgopscorecard.com/2025-bill-analyses-and-ratings/).

His record dissects even further: Across five terms (10 years), he approved spending bills 95.9% of the time, voting for all them but one in the 2025 session. As it turns out, the State of Idaho is now unconstitutionally $56.6 million in debt. How did this happen? Oh, the state spending has exploded 60% over the last six years, and he has voted for nearly all of it. Bluntly, he perpetuates unconstitutional overreach, squanders public funds, cultivates taxpayer dependency on federal largesse, and institutionalizes entitlements absent rigorous fiscal oversight (Idaho Constitution, Article VII, Section 11; https://legislature.idaho.gov/wp-content/uploads/budget/highlights/Budget-Monitor/2026/2025-10-BudgetMonitor.pdf?1760133759; https://idahocapitalsun.com/2025/10/10/idaho-projected-to-end-fiscal-year-with-unconstitutional-56-6m-state-budget-deficit/).

Compounding this fiscal irresponsibility is the appearance of his ambivalence toward freedoms. Lifetime data indicate he voted for liberty-infringing laws 44.8% of the time—nearly half his decisions bolstering bureaucratic overreach, suppressing market freedoms, imposing covert tax hikes, enforcing coercive wealth redistribution, concealing governmental operations, or undermining equal protection and due process. Though his 2025 score marginally improved to 63.5% (still a D and likely due to the threat of a possible primary 2024 challenger), it signifies capitulation to oppressive policies in over one-third of cases—a recurring betrayal mirrored in his 2024 F grade of 45.7%.

Moreover, my opponent refuses to endorse the Citizens Alliance of Idaho Pledge—a binding covenant between legislators and constituents, comprising ten elemental commitments rooted in the Idaho and U.S. Constitutions. Why would an Idaho Republican who values freedom, the proper role of both federal and state governments, and fiscal conservativism not agree with these ten principles? Why the evasion? Based on his 10-year voting record, I believe we know why. It exposes a profound misalignment in personal belief and his actions (https://www.citizensallianceidaho.org/pledge/).

The incontrovertible evidence condemns his tenure: Lawmakers who vote as he does doom Idaho to fiscal ruin, eroded liberties, and federal subjugation, imperiling our state for posterity. If escalating taxes, surrendering sovereignty, and a legacy of indebtedness and control for your children and their grandchildren appeal to you—re-elect my opponent.

But if you demand Idaho’s reclamation within our federal framework—slashing taxes, dismantling bloated bureaucracy, restoring governmental restraint, safeguarding truth, beauty, and virtue, fortifying parental authority, valuing all life, and reclaiming unbridled freedom—the imperative is crystal clear. Embrace renewal. Vote decisively for Isaac Moffett on May 19th, 2026. Your action today secures Idaho’s tomorrow.
