Pro-Life

Other · Governor, Idaho

In candidate questionnaires for earlier Idaho races, Pro-Life answered "Strongly Disagree" when asked whether he supported the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement against Israel. Asked about Islamic terrorism he wrote that "Islam uses force wrongfully and must be modified or abolished".

Pro-Life, formerly Marvin Richardson, is the Constitution Party candidate for Governor of Idaho and has run repeatedly for state and federal office in Idaho.

His iVoterGuide candidate questionnaires are the record. Asked whether he supported the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement to pressure Israel, he answered "Strongly Disagree". Asked what the United States should do about Islamic terrorism, he wrote: "Educate the world, that Islam will kill you if you apostatise. Islam uses force wrongfully and must be modified or abolished."

The second answer is about a religion and its adherents rather than about a government or a policy. It is on the card because it is his own dated, published answer, and it is recorded in full on the research page.

These answers predate this campaign, and Idaho's governor has no role in federal aid or arms decisions. He has set out no position on what the United States sends.

The iVoterGuide page was rendered in a browser and read in full, 1,954 words; read directly, this host returns an empty page. Both quoted answers match verbatim. The page is his own candidate profile, covering Idaho races including Lieutenant Governor and U.S. House. This material was previously dropped by the same fault in how the card was assembled.

The generated record, kept

Everything below comes from the first search’s own notes, written before this card was rewritten, and is kept unchanged so that what was looked for, and what came back, stays on the record. Where it says nothing was found on this question, read it against the verified item above.

What was looked for, and what came back

The rest of what the first search returned on the questions with no answer

Each line above is the first sentence of what the first search returned for that question. Where it said more after that sentence, the whole passage is reproduced here word for word, so the qualification stands on the record alongside the finding. Em dashes are rendered as hyphens to satisfy house style; no wording is changed.

### U.S. military aid and weapons to Israel In an *iVoterGuide* candidate questionnaire completed during his 2020 campaign for the U.S. House of Representatives, Pro-Life indicated support for the premise that the United States should help defend Israel from attack by its enemies. However, he has not made public statements or detailed specific policy positions regarding U.S. military aid packages, foreign weapons transfers, or military funding to Israel.

### Characterization of the conflict In *iVoterGuide* candidate questionnaires submitted for both his 2020 campaign for U.S. House of Representatives and his 2022 campaign for Idaho Lieutenant Governor, Pro-Life selected "Strongly Disagree" in response to a prompt asking whether he supported the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel. Beyond his survey answers opposing the BDS movement, he has not publicly released detailed statements characterizing the history or nature of the Israel/Palestine conflict.
