More than 95% of Republican Reps supported SB272 (Parents’ Bill of Rights in Education), which, among other things, says that teachers should not lie to parents about potential gender transitioning of children.
Bordes strenuously opposed the Parents’ Bill of Rights, even to the point of co-sponsoring a Democrat amendment to weaken the bill.
Belknap 5 has a 5 for f4 primary. The other candidates are Dawn Johnson, who has a perfect voting record (0% RINO, 100% HRA), Steven Bogert and Richard Littlefield, who both have mediocre records (which means much better than Bordes), and Sheri Minor, who has no record (which is much better than Bordes).
In his first year he had good attendance but in his last three years he had terrible attendance. He was near the bottom 10% of all Reps.
