A Victory for Idaho's Children
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. Proverbs 3:5
A Victory For Idaho’s Children
This week, Idaho scored a huge conservative victory in the U.S. Supreme Court that protects children from life-altering, health-destroying transgender-affirming surgeries and medications.
This bill is near and dear to my heart. I had the honor of being the first to introduce this protection for children into the Idaho Legislature when I was serving in the Idaho House of Representatives. Those very few years ago, we were told that these surgeries and treatments didn’t happen in Idaho.
This horrible treatment of children has been gaining momentum until now.
I must express my gratitude to our State Attorney General, Raul Labrador, for his tireless defense of Idaho values, especially in this case, our children—our most precious resource—our future.
House Bill 71, which was passed by the legislature and signed into law in the 2023 session, also known as the Vulnerable Child Protection Act, bans CHILD mutilation and sterilization of “sex change” operations and dangerous hormone blockers.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Idaho can now enforce this law while the case advances to the 9th Circuit Court. This law that protects our children is still being challenged in the courts by radical “activist” groups filing lawsuits against protecting children's bodies and their ability to have children of their own.
House Bill 71 was passed overwhelmingly during the 2023 session, challenged only by the Democrat caucus and one or two hardcore democrat voting Republicans. Shockingly, my opponent for Idaho Senate District 8 did not vote to protect our children.
Protecting our children is part of the Republican Platform and, more importantly, an Idaho family value. Please read the party platform here. Then, you can be clear on what your elected precinct committee men and women have voted to adopt. You will also be very clear on what is expected of your elected officials.

On May 21st, you will participate in the solemn duty of voting for the candidate who will vote to protect your values.
I will never give in to the radical left policies that intend to destroy the Idaho we love.
I have a proven conservative record standing up for Idaho, our children, and our God-given rights.
God bless you and yours,
Christy
I loved you for your morals then. Maybe even more now. Thank you for being you.
Praise God for this victory!
Thank you for everything that you do, Mrs. Zito!
