Integrity in Affiliation

Submission: Yes
“I have read the Idaho Constitution and the Idaho Republican Party Platform. Except for the provisions specifically noted below, I support the Idaho Republican Party Platform and accept it as the standard by which my performance as a candidate and as an officeholder should be evaluated. I certify that I am not a candidate, officer, delegate or position holder in any party other than the Republican Party.”
I support the direct election by Idaho voters of our United States Senators for Idaho and trust the Idaho people to make that decision at the polls.

I am Pro-Life and I believe in the sanctity of human life. Therefore, I oppose elective abortion for personal or social convenience; no government funds or law should allow for such abortions. In certain circumstances, abortion should be available when pregnancy results from rape or incest, or a competent physician determines that the life or health of the mother is in serious jeopardy, or a competent physician determines that the fetus has severe defects that will not allow the baby to survive beyond birth.
Even these exceptions do not automatically justify abortion. I believe abortion is a most serious matter for an individual and society and any such exception should only be considered after the person(s) responsible have received confirmation through prayer.
