Brandon Mitchell has started looking out for his interests, not Idaho families.

Brandon Mitchell campaigned as a moderate, yet he has been anything but since taking office. He is cozying up to extreme Republicans, including members of the Freedom Caucus while doing the bidding of out-of-state interests like the Foundation for Government Accountability.

From passing laws that criminalize doctors and punish women to supporting book bounties that threaten libraries with costly lawsuits, Brandon Mitchell is going too far and taking away our freedoms.
