@GatejenNicolas Yep. I’m not in the mood for kumbaya at the convention.

[Heather Lauer @HeatherLauer]

The Montana Republican Party backed conservative challengers against centrist incumbents who repeatedly voted against the party platform and sided with Democrats, and succeeded in unseating several of them. Imagine that, Idaho! https://t.co/Y6VUlBL0fp

@MacRaslan @IdahoGOP When we all rallied to elect liberty-minded leadership for IDGOP two years ago, I was voting for a team that would disrupt the establishment mentality of the state party. That unfortunately has not happened.

Did You Know: Minnesota is the third state this year to protect home addresses from exposure in campaign donation records, following West Virginia and Utah.

The Constitution protects every American’s right to speech and association. So why do politicians think they can censor “out-of-state” organizations? https://t.co/XewigHN9pg

[Luke Wachob @LukePUFP]

Setting aside the harms to free speech, donor privacy, and civic engagement, campaign finance laws don’t even succeed on their own terms. You could hardly name a tougher regulatory environment for this stuff than California, yet here we are.

Absolute mic drop

[Spencer Pratt @spencerpratt]

To my fellow Angelenos who want change, and are considering voting for Nithya Raman, I can assure you, she is not fit for the job, and she has no path to victory. A vote for Nithya is a vote for Karen Bass. I am ready to earn your vote and make LA feel safe for all.

@DustinvEveryone @50cent 🔥 the real ones know

[John Slagboom @JohnSlagboom1]

Marty’s complaint: not enough Democrats gamed the Republican closed primaries.

Democrats flagrantly gaming the Republican primary to select candidates favorable to their goals and objectives is a growing concern. Democrats should not be choosing the GOP’s nominees.

[Heather Lauer @HeatherLauer]

The Legislative District 26 Republican Central Committee will have strong conservative leadership for another two years. Brian Smith will serve as chair, Lyle Johnstone as Vice Chair, and I’m stepping into the Secretary role.

[Heather Lauer @HeatherLauer]

@EricPar33386706 Looking forward to being part of Team State Committee with you!

[Heather Lauer @HeatherLauer]

The Blaine County Republican Central Committee held our reorg meeting tonight, and I’m excited to be stepping into the role of State Committeewoman as Adam Chafetz steps into the Chair position. I look forward to focusing more of my time over the next two years on voter outreach and candidate development efforts, and will be 100% focused on electing Bryan Hyde and Lyle Johnstone to the legislature in November. Next stop: Serving as a delegate at the IDGOP state convention in 3 weeks. Onward!

[Blaine County Republicans @5BGOP]

The Blaine County Republican Central Committee held its biannual reorganization meeting on Thursday, May 28 and elected new officers to serve for the 2026–2028 term.

Chair: Adam Chafetz
Vice Chair: Rick Olson
Secretary: Brian Opp
Treasurer: Andrea Parker
State Committeeman: Eric Parker
State Committeewoman: Heather Lauer
State Youth Committeeman: Dylan Guisasola-Casey

Looking ahead, our focus now turns to the November general election. We will be working hard to elect Republican candidates at all levels of government and support candidates who will bring conservative leadership to Idaho.

@Achilles4Idaho If you hate out-of-state donors so much, why was my friend in Arizona contacted by your campaign with a request for a max donation?

[Heather Lauer @HeatherLauer]

@damonsidur It’s so fake. Any down to earth Idahoan will see right through it.
