Labrador over Little

Wed., May 2, 2018

There are solid reasons I cannot vote for Brad Little to be governor of Idaho. He opposed “life begins at conception” legislation in 2006. He voted against traditional marriage in 2004 and 2006. In 2006 he praised Planned Parenthood Services for “significantly reducing our spending on Medicaid.” Brad Little said tax increases are necessary and inevitable, then voted for a $200 million increase in taxes.

Raul Labrador is the man we should place in the governor’s office. He respects family values and upholds conservative principles. Raul Labrador shows this every day in his voting and in how he lives his life.
