Boise, Idaho — Idaho GOP Chairwoman Dorothy Moon issued the following statement today after House Concurrent Resolution 25 failed on a 4–5 vote in the Senate Judiciary & Rules Committee:
“I commend the members of the committee who voted today to reject HCR 25 and protect the integrity of our United States Constitution. While we strongly support fiscal responsibility and a balanced federal budget, an Article V Convention is not the right path.
Our Constitution has served this nation for nearly 250 years. Opening it to a convention carries serious and unpredictable risks that could extend far beyond a single amendment.
The Idaho GOP has long opposed calls for an Article V Convention, and the Republican National Committee has adopted a standing resolution opposing it as well. We remain committed to advancing conservative solutions that rein in federal spending without jeopardizing the constitutional framework that safeguards our liberties.
Today’s vote reflects prudent leadership and a clear understanding that protecting the Constitution must remain our highest priority.”
The Idaho Republican Party will continue working to promote fiscal discipline, limited government, and constitutional principles at every level of government.
