James Lamborn
House 28A
Hometown: American Falls
Occupation: Investor
Statement: “I’m pro-Constitution. That means you can count on me to protect your freedoms; your right to worship freely, to speak your mind, to assemble when, where and with whom you want. Mask and vaccine mandates represent Orwellian tyranny and are TOTALLY un-American. I will protect our children from indoctrination and damaging material. I am pro-school choice and will be a Parental Rights advocate. And of course, perhaps, the most important, protecting your 2nd Amendment rights. It is my personal belief that as free Americans we ought to be able to defend ourselves and our families with any gun we want.”
