Every now and then, we reach a moment in history that causes us to stop and recognize its significance. I can still vividly remember celebrating America’s 200th birthday in 1976. It was my senior year of high school, and my Southern belle dress won top prize and landed me on the front page of the Springfield […]
Can you believe it’s been two years already? I told a story at the 2024 Idaho GOP State Convention in Coeur d’Alene about getting a personalized license plate with the number 2024 to remind me and everyone I drove past just how important that year was going to be. And what a year it was! […]
Dear Republicans, We look forward to seeing delegates, alternates, and guests at the 2026 Idaho GOP State Convention starting next Thursday in Meridian. Here are some things you need to know: The Ada County GOP is hosting a special event featuring an Italian buffet, no-host bar, and a great lineup of speakers. Click here for […]
As we head into the 2026 Idaho GOP State Convention, delegates are already discussing ideas for reform—not only of our government, but also of the way we choose our nominees. Back in 2007, the Idaho GOP voted to close our primary to members of other political parties. After all, why should Democrats or Libertarians have […]
If you had told me a few years ago that California’s best shot at avoiding becoming a failed state was a former reality TV star, I probably wouldn’t have believed you. Then again, there was a time when the idea that another reality star and tabloid sensation would become president and help make America great […]
I can’t predict the future. Don’t ask me where the stock market will be a year from now, or who will win next year’s Super Bowl. One thing I can tell you with absolute certainty, however, is that we’re not going back to politics as usual. American politics were fundamentally changed the moment Donald Trump […]
Primary elections are a great American tradition. Every two years, Republican voters in Idaho head to the polls to decide our slate of legislative candidates for the general election. We now have a slate of 102 candidates for the Legislature, each having won a majority of the vote in their district. It’s something of a […]
Voting is one of the most important privileges citizens have in our republican system, but it’s not enough to cast your ballot in the General Election. Here in Idaho, whoever wins in May almost always wins in November. Next Tuesday is your opportunity to have a say in the direction of our society, and I […]
You know, people are always asking me how to tell a real Republican from a fake one, or how to identify a true conservative. Are there Democrats masquerading as Republicans? Libertarians? As chair of the party, I can’t unilaterally declare who is or isn’t a “real Republican”—that’s ultimately up to the voters—but I can tell […]
Every two years, the Idaho GOP grassroots come together in one of our state’s great cities to ratify a platform. That platform reflects the zeitgeist of the grassroots—a continuing commitment to defending faith, family, and freedom in a rapidly changing world. Idaho GOP rules require that I invite all federal, statewide, and legislative candidates in the […]
Dear Republican Candidates, Supporters, and Volunteers, On behalf of Chairwoman Dorothy Moon, the Idaho GOP invites you to join us for an Election Night Watch Party at the newly built Residence Inn in Eagle, Idaho (515 S. Palmetto Ave.), beginning at 7:00 p.m. Mountain Time on Tuesday, May 19, 2026. (See map below.) It has […]
It’s time to recognize what time it is. In 2024, President Trump fell 5% short in Virginia, a state that elected a Republican governor just a few years ago. This week, following the lead of Virginia’s new radical left-wing governor, the state narrowly voted to redraw its congressional districts—turning a map that favored Democrats 6–5 […]
