Better question - Are the legislators these PACs oppose, many of who can seldom accomplish any policy opposed by the Governor without joining the Democratic caucus, actually considered “Republican?”
Governor Little's premier legislation in 2022 was the LAUNCH Grant, a Biden-style free college bill that rewarded donors to his PACs with taxpayer money to train their own works.
It only passed because moderate Republicans joined forces with Democrats. Conservatives opposed it.
That's not what you're referring to though, are you?
No. But it is a good example because no conservative should accept a “no” vote. They should have supported an amendment to have LAUNCH funded by employers (like it was originally). A “no” vote by itself leaves able-bodied workers sitting on couches collecting government benefits. Not a “conservative” result.
"I wonder if recipients of this letter were aware that rather than fighting Joe Biden and the Democrats, the governor would use their donations to fight incumbent legislators in Idaho."
I imagine the donors know their donations will put them on the 123 donor short list. The smallest donation was $1,000.
Thanks for staying on this, Brian. Of course, now that you've figured out about the PO Boxes, they won't do THAT again!
Brian, just for the public record and for your safety, please let us know you are NOT having any suicidal thoughts.
I am very happy with being alive and intend to stay that way!

75% of the donations were from Companies.
