Keith Newberry
Senate 32
Hometown: Idaho Falls
Occupation: Project manager
Statement: “Newberry was a longtime employee with the Idaho National Laboratory until 2021 when he was forced to part ways over the vaccine mandates. What’s more, his wife’s small business lost months of income due to the mandates in the State of Idaho. This ignited a passion in Mr. Newberry for citizen participation in the fight for our constitutional rights. He got involved in the local Republican party, and ran for office in 2022 on a platform of resisting the unconstitutional COVID mandates and restoring individual liberties and fiscal responsibility.”
