I get it. Idaho is changing and its not the home we’ve worked generations to build. Do I like it?….nope. For years I have seen the states around us fall. And the way of life in those places turn dystopian. So yeah we are guardy of what we have. Populations growth changes culture, usually replacing a heritage with something that does not resemble what made this state. When a Californian is running for governor it causes a pause in me. I want a local generational candidate that wants for Idaho what I want, what we want. Solutions to problems that are decisive and certain. Someone that sees the origins of our concerns through eyes and soul of those here whos roots extend prior to a settled mountain west.
But I do not see that candidate. I see a man who came to Idaho and built a business. Employed people. Drew a moral and spiritual line in the sand. @oldstatemark chose to step into the arena and pledged to uphold and defend the way of life that makes Idaho great. Yeah sure he’s not born and raised here. But he is more Idaho than anyone else I am seeing running.
Tomorrow is your chance to vote and fulfill your roll as an active participant keeping Idaho, Real, Rugged and free.

@future42org Left Skagit county 10 years ago. The number of Washington refugees that have moved to CDL since is insane. Housing is expensive and the added traffic keeps people out of town.
If you want to move here, welcome to Idaho. But I would suggest Boise might be a better option to CDL.
I sponsored the bill that removed student IDs from voter identification in Idaho.
Three groups sued. They held press conferences. They called it “voter suppression.” They recruited a student as a plaintiff. They took it all the way to the Idaho Supreme Court.
They lost. 5-0. Unanimous.
Student IDs required no birth certificate, no proof of citizenship, no government verification. That’s not voter ID; that’s a vulnerability.
Idaho now requires real identification to vote. And we provide free voter IDs to anyone who needs one.
Next: closing the affidavit loophole.

Evidently it's working for Russia.
Just saying.
We can’t use budget reconciliation to pass the SAVE America Act because (1) it’s unavoidably non-budgetary, (2) the parliamentarian will deem it as such, and (3) the Senate GOP won’t overrule her.
Suggesting otherwise undermines our central message: that when the Senate reconvenes, we *must* keep it on the Senate floor until it passes.
Don’t fall for—or feed—the distraction!
@PattyMurray What are you talking about?
Washington state is very familiar with election fraud since 2001. With all mail in ballots and no ID (the list is too long), one would have to assume your elections are rigged.
There are no delusions of voter fraud in Washington!
@PattyMurray It will be interesting to see what happens in Washington if the Supreme Court rules against counting ballots after election day, and the Save act passes.
It's a possibility you just might be out of a job.
