Ron Nate

Added this controversies section to the Ron Nate page:

Following the May, 2016 Republican Primary, where Nate was narrowly re-nominated by Republicans, Rep. Nate reportedly recorded a meeting between himself and Idaho Senate Pro Tem Brent Hill. Hill had supported Nate's opponent in the primary. The secret recording of Hill by Nate garnered criticism from Idaho State House Speaker Scott Bedke who said, "People, including legislators, don’t like sneakiness …It’s destructive and on most levels dishonest.” Idaho House Majority Leader Rep. Mike Moyle concurred with Bedke, "“Being a legislator is like being in a marriage,” he said. “If you lose trust it’s over. Moyle added, “You still have to have that trust, and without that trust you become very ineffective. So if the allegations are true, I have concerns that people will be unlikely to trust a legislator who is in some way secretly recording conversations.”

There has been some speculation that Nate has active ties to the John Birch Society. Rep. Nate has also been praised by the Libertarian leaning Idaho Freedom Foundation for his activism and voting record.
