So sorry to hear IACI is trolling you, Sen. Zuiderveld. So dishonest!

Idaho Association of Commerce & Industry (IACI) hurts Idaho in many ways. Their lobbying and legislative scorecards reward legislators who vote for corporate interests and against the people. To view the IACI scorecards, visit https://www.iaci.org/scorecard/#/ and look up your favorite freedom legislator (low rankings). Then look up your less favorite ones (high rankings).

The IACI scorecards are the exact inverse of Idaho Freedom Foundation's indexes, with quality conservative legislators generally ranked high and corporatist legislators ranked low: https://index.idahofreedom.org/scorecard-leaderboard/

One way to thwart IACI is for all Idaho Freedom Caucus members to sign the Medical Freedom Pledge, something IACI supported legislators probably would be unwilling to do. The pledge states:

"I hereby pledge that as an elected official I will oppose any government action and repeal/veto any law that would coerce or require any American to acquiesce to a medical product or procedure."

Some Idaho Freedom Caucus members already have done this, including most recently Rep. Jacyn Gallagher and Sen. Brian Lenney (see Idaho signers at https://mlpledge.org/members/?filter=true&state=idaho). I hope the rest of Idaho Freedom Caucus will join them! The pledge link is here: https://mlpledge.org/join/
