Ive had a lot of people ask me— “What’s the deal with HB2289 and what’s the hold up?” So I thought I would recap some easy to digest thoughts.

1) #HB2289 is the most gutsy election integrity bill that was drafted from the get go.

2) It focuses predominantly on ending fraud by eliminating unnecessary mail-in voting that has become abused as it has become more prevalent. (Won’t get into all the abuse opportunities here.) It also requires precinct-level voting (something the left is trying to eliminate.)

3) Leadership in the Senate is preventing it from being voted on, largely due to budget negotiations. Conservatives in the house and senate are pretty upset over the Governor’s veto of Joe Chaplik’s bill that would have required counties to remove non-citizens from voter rolls.

4) So currently budget negotiations have stalled as conservatives are more and more lobbied by citizens to enact meaningful election integrity measures.

5) It will be important to see who bends and who folds during this process, what excuses are used and if Republicans will have the intestinal fortitude to get things done ahead of an important conservative-dominates midterm.

6) I expect every Republican to demand this bill, #HB2289 amended or not, to be voted on— and to hold other Republicans accountable before sine die (the end of legislative session.) We have no more clock left to prove to voters that we are doing something impactful.

7) Lastly— this is why you need to become a Precinct Committeeman. Build a personal relationship with your elected representatives and hold them accountable. I have been cussed out, and yelled while positively holding electeds to conservative principles.

We need your help!
