I am a proud Democrat and remember when Democrats ran this state. I remember Cecil Andrus and Frank Church as national hero’s. It’s also one of the first places that was unionized as mine workers and lumberjacks looked for protection from greedy bosses with no regard for workers. One of the first Unions in Idaho was the IWW - so we go back a ways.

The problems started when the Prop 1 boneheads showed up and started californicating Idaho. It’s gone downhill since then. But you know what? There are plenty of other Democrats fighting an uphill battle to protect and expand people’s rights.

Please don’t write this state off. We can use all the help we can get.
