Letter to the Editor: Terri Pickens for Idaho

Statemnet on decision in favor of proposition one

Opinion Graphic | Kieran Heywood

Idaho Dem. Governor Candidate Terri Pickens said the denial of an injunction the frivolous

lawsuit against Proposition One foils a plan by professional operatives to stoke opposition to

freedom in Idaho.

“I encourage everyone who cares about freedom and keeping the government out of our

personal lives and our doctor’s offices to vote YES on Proposition One,” Pickens said.

Pickens called the lawsuit a tactic to distract voters and smear the important campaign to roll

back the cruelest anti-abortion laws in the U.S.

The lawsuit, brought by a group called Idaho Family Policy Center, alleged that Pickens and

others had broken campaign laws regarding TV advertising. However, the US Supreme Court

had ruled in June that such financing was legal–ironically, in a case brought by J.D. Vance and

the National Republican Senatorial Committee.

Sent in by Dean Ferguson.
