Clarification

He advocates for "restrain[t] encroachments on individual liberty from all levels of civil government"

Looks unsourced. What does that even mean, though? I'm intrigued. Couldn't find anything on Google on this quote. YellowAries2010 (talk) 06:52, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Google it without "[t]":

"restrain encroachments on individual liberty from all levels of civil government"

It's a quote from his campaign website, herndonforidaho.com -- Pemilligan (talk) 13:41, 29 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Opposition to abortion

To say Herndon opposes abortion is an understatement. Herndon’s opposition to abortion is extreme enough that context may be helpful. He’s been quoted in 2023, regarding removing the exceptions for rape and incest from his state’s abortion ban, “Some people could describe the situation that you're talking about as the opportunity to have a child in those terrible circumstances if the rape actually occurred”.
