Ed Humphreys in State of Idaho secondary Archives
On Energy & Oil:
Ed will champion nuclear energy
Nuclear energy provides 55 percent of the nation's clean energy. Even in its "throttled back status," it contributes about $2 billion to the Idaho economy.
Ed will champion nuclear energy in the face of political operatives and lobbyists who spread misinformation to advance foreign and corporate interests.

On Education:
Problems in education will be solved through school choice
Problems in education will be solved by returning power to families and teachers through school choice. Nothing will have a more positive impact on wage growth for teachers and protect the free exchange of ideas in public education than school choice.
Our state universities teach ideologies counter to Idahoans values. Even worse, families have little power over how children are educated in public schools.
Whether knowingly or not, some of our state government is supporting anti-American activists with our tax dollars.
From special interest "science" to racist indoctrination, there is a taxpayer funded support structure to market socialist and communist ideas.

On Abortion:
Pro-life: Human life has inherent purpose and value
Human life has inherent purpose and value. What have we missed in the arts, in science, in our culture, because we cut short 60 million lives?
Ed's pro-life stance honors families and the values that build strong communities.

On Budget & Economy:
Idaho has a hidden but massive spending problem
The real problem is the adoption of socialism in Idaho and across America. Socialist policies like economic planning and wealth redistribution now rule the day. With each new rule, law, and mandate; you have less say in how you run your life
and more to pay in taxes. Taxes for reasonable services is one thing, but in Idaho we have little to show for it. One thing is certain, the state of Idaho has a hidden but massive spending problem.

On Civil Rights:
Fight for soul of America against Critical Race Theory
Critical Race Theory and its socialist tenacles have infiltrated every institution of our society. Ironically, CRT is being funded by you, as you pay your taxes,
support non-profit organizations, and do business with "woke" companies. Ed has a plan to win the fight for the soul of America.

On Crime:
More resources for police; expand prison capacity
Elected officials need to have serious discussions and take action to deliver more resources to law enforcement, including expanding prison capacity and offering tools to tackle corruption in government. I'm calling on all Idahoans to seriously consider
if you back the blue. If you do, then I hope to hear solidarity with officers on these issues. We can't say we support them and ignore them. They are the ones who bear the price for our mistakes. God bless our great law enforcement officers.

On Drugs:
Idaho CANNOT legalize or decriminalize drugs in any way
Idaho CANNOT legalize or decriminalize drugs in any way, shape, or form! You don't get to say you back the blue but ignore them on this vital issue. Some folks are screaming there's medicinal benefits to drugs and people should
be free to get completely whacked out of their mind. No thank you. There can be ONE state in America that celebrates family values along with law and order.

On Foreign Policy:
Take strong steps to protect Idaho from China's influence
Idaho First-Chinese Communist Party Policy: Idaho must WAKE UP to the true intentions of the CCP which monitors and corrupts Chinese companies and individuals to be surrogates of its criminal regime.
Strong steps must be taken to protect our state from the nefarious influence of our foreign adversaries.

On Government Reform:
Volunteer Idaho State Director for U.S. Term Limits
One of my clients pushed me to participate in the Republican Party because of my outspoken Constitutional Conservative philosophy. That was only 2 short years ago. In that time, I've been blessed to be selected as a Delegate for Donald J. Trump at the
Republican National Convention, become the volunteer Idaho State Director for U.S. Term Limits, attend Turning Point USA's Winter Gala at Mar-a-Lago, and serve as both a Precinct Committeeman and Region IV Chairman for the Idaho Republican Party.

On Health Care:
Ban vaccine and mask mandates, ban vaccine passports
- Ban employer-mandated vaccinations. (Oregon banned health care employees from being required to vaccinate over 30 years ago. Their hospitals have been just fine until the ultra-politicized COVID experimental treatment came around.)
-
Ban mask mandates in Idaho schools.
- Ban government agencies and big business from requiring vaccine passports.

On Immigration:
Craft a refugee resettlement policy that doesn't harm Idaho
Idaho is the third-highest state in per capita refugee resettlement. We accept more refugees than eight other states combined. Unfortunately, like so many well-intentioned programs, our compassion is betrayed as our tax dollars are funneled to
politicized non-profit groups and government entities that promote open borders, critical race theory, and socialist welfare entitlements. The next governor must craft a refugee resettlement policy that does not harm Idaho.

On Principles & Values:
America is the greatest nation on Earth
You must know that the terror of socialism and communism was burned into my psyche from a tender age. My mother, brother, and aunt came to America from Eastern Europe (former Yugoslavia). They lived under and fled from communism.
Growing up, I listened to stories of how people in other parts of the world lived and I was taught why America is the greatest nation on Earth.

On Principles & Values:
Idaho is the last foxhole for freedom and family values
America was founded and built by ordinary people who did the extraordinary. Idaho is the last foxhole for freedom and family values. I humbly ask for you to partner with me on this journey to elevate and insulate Idaho. This is a time for
Patriots to take a stand. We need a Governor who is committed to the U.S. and Idaho Constitution, will fight federal overreach, and will give everything to empower Idaho families.

On Tax Reform:
Abolish Idaho income tax
Taxpayers may be surprised to learn that for the average Idahoan earning $50,000 a year, Idaho's state income tax is higher than 39 other states.
Ed has a plan to abolish the state income tax without disruption to essential services.
A Taxpayer's Bill of Rights forces the government to put every proposed state tax increase to the voters for their approval. Ed believes a Taxpayer's Bill of Rights will rein in the growing size
and cost of government and put more power back into the hands of the people by reducing the number of elections in a year and eliminating the tax increases passed in sneaky low voter-turnout elections.
