Bill > HR019

This resolution, originating from the Idaho House of Representatives, formally condemns the political violence and crimes against the state that took place in 2025, acknowledging that such acts occurred both nationally and within Idaho, including specific instances like the murder of political activist Charles "Charlie" James Kirk and the targeted killings of Minnesota State Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband. It also recognizes that Idaho's own law enforcement, first responders, public servants, and elected officials were subjected to attacks, which undermines civil discourse and the relationship between citizens and their government. The resolution commends the efforts of law enforcement and emergency personnel in apprehending suspects and calls for swift legal justice. Furthermore, it honors the lives and legacies of those who were killed or injured and urges all Idahoans, irrespective of their background, political affiliation, or beliefs, to reject all forms of political violence and crimes against the state, to re-engage in respectful debate, uphold American values, and treat each other with respect.
