Your Voice Matters

Amy Henry is a native Idahoan, Christian Conservative, and solid Republican who believes that this country is a blessing given to us by God. She feels strongly that it is our responsibility to protect our constitutional republic for future generations. She is the wife of an Air Force veteran and the mother of three children. Amy received her Bachelor’s in Elementary Education from Northwest Nazarene University. She was pivotal in getting her Parental Bill of Rights through the legislature this past session, formally placing parents as the primary stakeholders of their child’s upbringing. This is a giant leap from where we have been for decades.

At the heart of her campaign lies a deep commitment to the values that make Idaho a remarkable place to call home – FAITH, FAMILY, and FREEDOM. Amy is running for Idaho House of Representatives District 13B where she plans to continue to LEAD WITH INTEGRITY AND SERVE WITH HEART, making sure that YOUR VOICE MATTERS!

Protecting Children & Parental Rights

For years, I have been a tireless advocate for children, parental rights, and individual freedoms. As a proud war veteran’s wife, I understand the sacrifices our servicemen and women make for our country, and it’s our duty to protect and preserve the values they defend. As a mother of three and a former educator, I recognize the importance of a strong education system that respects the rights and responsibilities of parents. Every child has unique needs, and parents deserve the freedom to choose the educational path that best suits their child. I will continue to advocate for parental involvement in education, emphasizing the importance of collaboration between educators and parents to provide a strong foundation for students. I support school choice and will fight against unjust labeling of parents, ensuring their rights are protected throughout the educational process.

Championing Responsible Government

I am a firm believer in responsible government – a government that listens to its people, values transparency, and makes decisions grounded in both the United States and Idaho Constitution and the principles that have made this country great. The safety of our families, children, and the future of our great nation depend on maintaining a sound, solid, and secure border that protects our sovereignty and ensures the security of all American citizens. At this critical juncture, there has never been a more important time to safeguard our state’s sovereignty, ensuring that we can make decisions that best serve the interests of our communities and preserve the values we hold dear. Alongside this commitment to safeguarding our state sovereignty, I am also dedicated to conservative fiscal appropriations in government, ensuring that taxpayer dollars are spent wisely and efficiently.

Promoting Tax Relief & Economic Renewal

I understand the vital importance of a vibrant economy for the prosperity of Idahoans. I’m committed to championing policies that encourage economic growth and job creation while addressing the challenges posed by soaring government spending. Recent appropriations, including nearly $4 billion in education spending, have raised concerns about fiscal responsibility. Additionally, the rising costs of gas and housing, coupled with the challenge young adults face in purchasing homes, are pressing issues. Property taxes have reached burdensome levels. These factors combine to place significant financial strain on homeowners. My goal is to rein in government spending, reduce waste, and lower the tax burden on families and businesses, ensuring financial stability, and making homeownership more attainable for all Idahoans.

Safeguarding Individual Freedoms

I am also deeply committed to safeguarding individual freedoms. That means no masking our children, no mask mandates for employment or travel, no shutdowns, no forced online schooling of our children, no forced jabs, and no elderly dying in hospitals or nursing homes without their loved ones by their side. It means no families and friends losing their jobs because they are being forced to put something in their bodies that is experimental and has harmed and killed more people than we will ever truly know. It means no more mandates, no shutdowns, NO MORE LIES!

Supporting our Military & Veterans

With a deep-rooted family history of military service, including my husband’s dedication to defending our nation, I understand the sacrifices made by our servicemen and women. Idaho’s strong ties to the military and veterans are a source of pride for me. I’m committed to ensuring that our military members and veterans receive the support and respect they deserve. I will work diligently to secure resources for veterans’ healthcare, job opportunities, and affordable housing. I recognize that our military and veterans are the backbone of our nation’s security, and I’ll be a fierce advocate for their well-being.

US & Idaho Foundations

Founding Principles & Idaho's Constitution

In our pursuit of a more perfect union, we hold steadfast to the guiding principles enshrined in the United States founding documents and Idaho’s Constitution. The United States Constitution, a cornerstone of our Republic, establishes the framework of our nation, while the Declaration of Independence echoes our commitment to liberty and self-determination. The Bill of Rights safeguards our individual freedoms, serving as a bulwark against tyranny. In parallel, the Idaho Constitution outlines the values and governance structure that define our great state. Together, these foundational documents form the bedrock of our Constitutional Republic, ensuring that our government remains accountable, our liberties secure, and our future prosperous.

This legislation updated Title 33 Chapter 60 in Idaho code regarding parental rights. The following is a summary:

  • It reinforces the fundamental rights and responsibilities of parents or legal guardians as primary stakeholders to make decisions regarding the upbringing of their child.
  • It makes the public school responsible for notifying a student’s parent or legal guardian regarding known changes in the student’s mental, emotional, or physical health or well-being.
  • A public school shall not adopt procedures, policies, or student support forms that prohibit public school personnel from notifying a parent or legal guardian about a student’s mental, emotional, or physical health or well-being or a change in related services or monitoring or that encourage or have the effect of encouraging a student to withhold from a parent or legal guardian such information.
  • At the start of the school year, each public school shall notify parents and legal guardians of health services offered or made available through the school or by private organizations, including preventative health and wellness services, screenings, medication administration, first aid and emergency care, and appropriate management of all health conditions with parental consent.
  • Before any public school employee administers any noncurricular-related student survey, well-being questionnaire, or health screening to any student, the employee must first obtain consent from the school’s superintendent or designee. If the content of any such survey, questionnaire, or screening regards an individual student’s sexuality, sex, religion, personal political beliefs, mental or psychological problems, personal family information, or individual or family financial information, the public school shall provide the survey, questionnaire, or screening form to the student’s parent or legal guardian in advance and obtain the permission of the parent or legal guardian.
  • A parent or guardian whose rights, as provided by this section, are violated by a public school may file a complaint with the school.
  • Public schools shall implement policies and procedures to accept, evaluate, and remedy complaints.
  • If a complaint is not satisfactorily remedied by the public school, a parent shall have a private cause of action for injunctive relief, damages, and any other relief available under the law against the school.

ANOTHER LEGISLATIVE SUCCESS WE ARE SEEING!
This letter was sent to an agency from the Superintendent of the Bonneville Joint School District #93:

“Due to new legislation regarding parental rights, we will not participate in the administration of this survey. This legislation would require parents to provide permission for their children to take the survey. That would be a serious management issue for us to administer an external survey to 14,000 students and make sure that every participant had parental permission first. This legislation also provides parents with the right to sue school districts for violations of this law. As much as it might be helpful to the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare, it is simply not worth our personal risk to administer surveys from outside agencies that ask questions about students’ health or other personal matters. Thank you for your understanding.”
