Ammon Bundy Files To Run For Governor Of Idaho
HuffPost
But the armed rancher who took over public lands in a 41-day standoff five years ago is now banned from the state capitol.
Anti-government agitator Ammon Bundy, who took over Oregon’s Malheur National Wildlife Refuge with a band of followers in 2016, has filed paperwork to run for governor of Idaho. Bundy isn’t registered to vote and has been banned from the Idaho state capitol for a year from last August after he was arrested there twice in two days. Although he hasn’t made up his mind to run, Bundy told NBC News that he wants to begin building an organization for a possible candidacy. “The people of Idaho are very freedom-minded,” Bundy said. “I had never desired [running for office], but I knew as early as 2017 that I would run for governor of Idaho.”More Related News
