When I moved to Idaho 30 years ago from N.Y.C. I was looking for a place to settle with my family and get away from the high taxes and crooked politicians who were firmly in control of most east coast states including N.Y. and N.J. In 1992 Idaho was still a bastion of conservatism and […]
Four years ago, I began service as a state representative in an environment where too many, even in Idaho, are turning their backs on the conservative values of many Idaho families and buying into liberal ideology and big-government solutions. My experience has been exhilarating, challenging, and sobering. Through it all, one thing is crystal clear: […]
Are you ready for Idaho to go “woke,” be forced to wear masks, get fully vaccinated and become a good global citizen? If not, I encourage you to go vote on Tuesday, May 17th, and bring 10 of your like-minded friends to do the same. Idaho is in a perfect storm and if citizens don’t […]
“Bad politicians are sent to Washington by good people who don’t vote.” ~ Daniel Webster, US House Representative and Senator Idaho will vote on May 17th and our voting history is interesting and instructive over the past decades. Idaho elected Donald Trump for President by 30 points in 2020. Three counties voted for Biden: Latah […]
Last Friday, April 29, I participated in a Meet and Greet organized by the Franklin County Republican Central Committee. I shared the stage with Mr. Jim Guthrie. We were asked the same questions. We took turns to respond with no follow-up opportunities. One of the questions focused on whether or not the legislature may convene […]
I have watched the Idaho Debates this week and in addition to listening to what the candidates have to say, I have listened to the panelists and the way they have framed questions and, on several occasions, inserted themselves into the debate. This happened once to Raul Labrador during the Attorney General Debate, and he […]
What does Take Back Idaho (TBI) stand for? I know several of the Board members and I have the deepest respect for Ben Ysursa and Wil Overgaard. I have been introduced to Bruce Newcomb, Jim Jones, and Bob Geddes. I respect their service to our country, and to Idaho citizens and students. In my opinion […]
There is a big hole in the hearts of Idaho Constitutional Conservatives four weeks before the Idaho Republican Primary Election. The emptiness and sense of despair in a State that that voted in 2020 for Donald Trump (63.6%) for conservatives who see candidates running Statewide with large margins like Governor Little in a recent poll […]
Audrey Dutton is one of Idaho’s most talented and exceptional reporters. In an article in the Idaho Capital Sun dated May 5th 0430 she gives Dr. Ryan Cole and his company a journalistic autopsy (or was it a colonoscopy) that I am sure will win awards and accolades. I have seldom agreed with Ms. Sutton’s […]
On Wednesday, May 4th, there will be a conservative rally in Meridian, Idaho, at Kleiner Park. The event is sponsored by conservative candidates including Janice McGeachin, Dorothy Moon, and Bryan Smith. Our good friend Kevin Miller will serve as the MC. Speakers include Michelle Malkin, James Lindsay, Stew Peters, Az. State Sen. Wendy Rogers, and […]
Hero or Spoiler? With only a couple of weeks left before the Primary Elections it is time for conservatives to unite and consolidate their power and that can only be accomplished if Ed Humphreys were to drop out of the race and support Janice McGeachin along with Bundy supporters. The Merriam Webster Dictionary’s definition of […]
On the campaign trail, I have been asked multiple times about voter ID and additional federal laws regarding election procedures. Election integrity is indeed a critical issue and has been discussed since the founding of the Republic. What does the Constitution say about election integrity? In Article 1, Section 4, Clause 1 states: The Times, […]
