Obviously, voting for candidates because they are nice is absolutely the wrong reason for electing them. Nice is nice. But how elected officials make judgments and actually vote according to our U.S. and Idaho Constitutions is what matters. Government should be run like a business, with objectivity, a balance sheet and most importantly by following […]
Representative for the 1st Congressional District: The Gem State Patriot proudly endorses former State Senator Russell Fulcher. We feel that Russ has been a guardian of conservative values during his 10 years in the Idaho Senate and indeed looks out for the little guy with his bill to enact the grocery tax credit to help […]

Since I’m a precinct committeeman for District 14/18, we took the time to go to the Ambrose School to listen to the Debate of the five candidates running for Senator in District 14. I must say we were sorely disappointed not only with the weak attendance but also with the weak choices that are running […]
Actually, up to 50 trains… a day! Still… one bridge. The beautiful northern Idaho town named Sandpoint could be called Railroadville since as many as 50 railroad trains pass through the town every day and some of them even linger there for a while. They linger longer depending on the length of the current train […]
Senator Nonini opens up his article by saying this is one of the most important primaries Idaho has seen in decades. I think that we will all agree with that statement and then some. There are over 200 candidates running for various legislative offices in this primary and the selection by the voters is going […]
Serving as a State Representative in the Idaho House was an awesome experience. It was an honor to serve in the opportunity to help protect the liberties and freedoms which our Constitution bestows and which so many of us hold dear as Republicans. As one of the more conservative members of the House, we helped […]
Idahoans always prevail. Our passions allows us to create the things we need out of the things we have. The May 15th primary will be one of the biggest, most important primaries Idaho has seen in decades, and we need your support. The Republican Party will elect a Governor, a Lt. Governor and many other […]
Idaho is fortunate to have some solid conservative legislators serving in our state capitol, but they are in need of a helping hand to prevent Idaho from slipping off the foundation of our American Heritage. Due in large part to the exodus of conservatives from states suffering social and economic deterioration thanks to serial mismanagement […]
I have to say, after listening to Tommy Ahlquist on the Kevin Miller show answer questions and pontificate about how he is going to fix health insurance, I am even more skeptical of the rhetoric that he has been tossing around in his ads about the other candidates. He had an opportunity to defend himself […]
On the Attack: It appears that Tommy Ahlquist has decided to go on the attack against his opponents in the race for Governor of Idaho. In a recent radio spot, you hear a spokesperson talk about Brad Little’s bad voting record on abortion and his votes to give Planned Parenthood taxpayer money. This part of […]
