Idaho Falls–Representative Julianne Young – The Fallacies and Risks of an Article V Convention
Julianne Young, former Idaho State Representative for Legislative District 30 Seat B, and current candidate for the same position, will be discussing what an Article V Convention is and the risks associated with one.
Unfortunately our Constitution is under attack by entities calling for an Article V Convention and Idaho just became part of the problem. Idaho House Bill HCR 25 calling for a Article V Convention for a Balanced Budget Amendment was just passed by the Idaho House of Representatives. As of this writing (02/15/26), the Bill still needs to be passed by the Idaho Senate to be adopted. Regardless of how desirable a Balanced Budget Amendment may seem, achieving them through an Article V Convention (also called a Convention of States or ConCon) is not the answer, there are too many risks involved.
Julianne will talk to us about the fallacies and risks of an Article V Convention and why we shouldn’t have one.
