Scott Herndon represented District 1 in the Idaho State Senate from 2022 to 2024, compiling ratings of 96.2% (IFF Freedom), 100% (CPAC Conservative of the Year), and 97.9% (Institute for Legislative Analysis). He supported $317.4 million in property tax relief that passed the Senate 28–7; when Governor Little vetoed the bill, Herndon voted with the 28–7 majority to override the veto and enact it into law (HB 292, 2023). He supported budget reform measures credited with reducing state spending by $200 million in FY2024. On the Senate Finance Committee, he worked to contain $1.5 billion in federal debt spending in the Idaho state budget. He voted for Idaho’s $50 million income tax cut (HB 521), consistently supported every income tax cut brought before the Senate, and voted against government spending growth.

Herndon co-authored HB 752 with Rep. Rasor, making it a crime for men to enter women’s restrooms, locker rooms, and private spaces — the first law of its kind among the states. He is 100% pro-life, endorsed in 2024 by Idaho Chooses Life, and voted for the Vulnerable Child Protection Act banning gender transition procedures on minors (HB 71, 2023). Zero disagreements with the Idaho Republican Platform.
