Herndon is a born again Christian. In January 2023,he introduced legislation to eliminate marriage licenses and instead directed officiants to issue marriage certificates following a ceremony between "two qualified people,a man,and a woman". Representative Ilana Rubel said the bill appears to codify that "there would only be marriage recognized between a man and a woman" in Idaho,which would violate Obergefell v. Hodges ,the U.S. Supreme Court case guaranteeing same-sex marriage in the United States. [5] He advocates for "restrain[t] encroachments on individual liberty from all levels of civil government". He opposes abortion,even in cases of rape and incest.[ citation needed ]. After Idaho passed the fetal heartbeat bill in 2022 [6] ,Herndon fought to have rape and incest removed as exceptions for abortions,a measure which ultimately failed in the legislature. [7]
