Issue Position: Supporting Traditional Marriage

Issue Position

Marriage is between one man and one woman, and I am fighting to keep Idaho's definition of marriage as law. In the 110th Congress, I co-sponsored a joint resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States declaring that marriage is between a man and a woman. I voted in favor of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) when it passed with strong bi-partisan support and was signed into law by President Clinton in 1996. I will continue to work to protect the institution of marriage and will press for policies that safeguard traditional marriages and support the ability of states to determine the definition of marriage within the state.
