I predict that Idaho’s political landscape will look a little, maybe a lot, different after the May 6 primary.
In addition to Smith running against Simpson, we have State Senator Russ Fulcher running against Gov Butch Otter.
Idaho County Commissioner Jim Chmelik is running against Lt Gov Brad Little, and Todd Hatfield is running against semi-incumbent (?) Woolf.
Chris Troupis is running against the most worthless Attorney General Idaho has ever had, Lawrence Wasden.
Our Sec’y of State Ben Ysursa is retiring, and hopefully Lawerence Denney will take that job. There are two or three others looking for that job.
Finally, if we can get John Eynon elected as Sup’t of Public Instruction we have a good chance of pulling out of Common Core. He is the only one of two or three others who opposes CC.
Any one of these people taking office will move Idaho’s government more conservative. A clean sweep would be an opportunity made in heaven.
All in all, it could be a good spring.
You and your friends should form a squad of volunteers passing out yard signs and telling hteir other friends and relatives. A little of this could go a long way.
