The Idaho Republican Party has much to be grateful for this Thanksgiving. Let’s reflect on the recent election that brought us significant victories. This election was one to celebrate, highlighting our gratitude for the grassroots efforts and outcomes that have positively impacted our state and our nation. We are thankful for the hard work that […]
I’m incredibly disappointed by the recent vandalism of our signs opposing Proposition 1. Over a dozen signs in Meridian and Eagle were defaced, with some even marked with swastikas. These illegal actions don’t just violate the law — they undermine the democratic process, which relies on voters hearing from all sides before making informed decisions. […]
The Idaho Republican Convention happened last weekend and it was a success in multiple ways. The three day event began with committee meetings held at The Coeur d’Alene Resort and ended with a General Session at NIC’s Schuler Auditorium. The NIC catering staff supplied a delicious lunch for 750 people on both Friday and Saturday. […]
Next week, delegates from across the Gem State will gather at the Coeur d’Alene Resort for the 2024 Idaho GOP State Convention. This biennial event unites representatives of the Republican grassroots to conduct party business and celebrate the values that bind us together. Delegates and guests will have the chance to meet like-minded individuals from […]
In a recent CDA Press editorial, the lingering ghost of the former editor rises like swamp gas over the Florida Everglades to regurgitate tired and biased tropes against the Republican Party whose members are 63% of the registered voters in their market. When will Press management appreciate that insulting 63% of their potential customers is […]
I’m going to make this short and sweet as this primary election has been more contentious than any I have experienced in my 31 years of following politics in Idaho. I have said many times in my writing and on the radio that Idaho is basically a Libertarian-bent state when it comes to politics and […]

“They have been calling themselves “Republican” for so long they have started to believe it.” Senator Scott Herndon, Freedom Caucus member. “There is a LOT in the (Republican) Platform that I don’t agree with.” Sandy Patano, North Idaho “Republican” (NIR) founder. The NIR logo is a White Elephant and a “White Elephant” is something that […]
“Those who stand for nothing fall for anything.” Alexander Hamilton What is a Republican? Anyone who is qualified to vote can affiliate with the Republican Party and call themselves a “Republican.” There is no test or oath, just check a box and you are in. But what if there is a candidate who claims to […]
Every two years, the Idaho Republican Party asks primary candidates to sign the Integrity in Affiliation Form. This simply asks if candidates have read and support the Idaho State Constitution and the Idaho Republican Platform. Sounds simple, but nothing is ever simple in today’s media and political environment. Some, apparently troubled with the notion of […]
In 1854, Americans from all walks of life gathered in churches, schoolhouses, and community centers to build what would become the Republican Party. Our party has always worked best when authority and legitimacy come from the ground up rather than the top down. My election as Chair at the 2022 State Convention in Twin Falls […]
Last week I wrote about the need for political parties because they bring stability to our Republican form of government and how that stability is under threat from the Uniparty. A little over four years ago Democrat operatives rented an entire floor in a downtown Boise office building and staffed it with a rumored $8M […]
