HB 1635 by Burrows: Government Overreach

HB 1635 seeks to have the state interfere with private political party processes ultimately preventing a political party from controlling who affiliates with them. HB 1635 represents a complete overreach by the government seeking to protect individuals that wish to not be disciplined by the party and the will of the delegates that make up that party’s apparatus. The state should have no role in the operations of private political parties and should let them police themselves. For this reason, TFR opposes HB 1635.
