There is so much controversy concerning this particular bill that I wanted to do a deep dive into the reasons why this bill is a problem and can’t get enough support for passage. I think after reading this you will agree that the “Devil is in the Details”. To be fair I have used sources […]
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 […]
Panels of “experts” are everywhere today—on politics, sports, economics, even religion—and yet their track record for getting things right is remarkably poor. One begins to wonder whether they are experts at all, or simply performers chasing relevance. Consider the American bishops who confidently opined about who would be the next pope. How many were correct? […]
Bob Neugebauer welcomes Ron Nate, president of the Idaho Freedom Foundation, to analyze the results of Idaho’s 2026 primary elections, held one week prior. The conversation covers the governor’s race, federal delegation, state constitutional officers, legislative gains and losses, and the demographic patterns that explain why conservatives won big in 2024 but lost ground in […]
I have just a few words about the recent primary election: While I was impressed by Mark Fitzgerald running for governor taking almost 29% of the vote, I never thought that he had a chance of dethroning King Little and the RINO Machine. The fact that Mark did so well tells me that Idahoans are […]
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 […]
Bob Neugebauer welcomes Ron Nate, president of the Idaho Freedom Foundation, to discuss teacher pay, surveillance technology, Republican Party integrity, and the upcoming 2026 primary elections. With Election Day one week away, the conversation turns to several issues that return to a central question: whether Idaho voters will hold candidates accountable to conservative principles or […]
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 […]
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 […]
“Don’t be distracted by criticism. Remember—the only taste of success some people have is when they take a bite out of you.” Zig Ziglar Critics of the Kootenai County Republican Central Committee (KCRCC) claim that efforts to vet candidates, make recommendations, and uphold the principles in the Republican Party Platform are destructive to the party […]
