But the Far Left won’t stop trying to undo this progress. I’m running for re-election to ensure the 5th District remains a stronghold for the American Dream.

Baumgartner says he is running for re-election to preserve regional protections including the Lower Snake River Dams.

The evidence shows Baumgartner publicly opposed breaching the Lower Snake River dams and praised the withdrawal from a dam-breaching agreement while serving in Congress. That supports some candidate credit for helping keep the dams in place, but the record provided does not show a direct legislative or executive action by him that clearly secured the outcome, so full delivery is not established.
