Last fall, Matt Edwards, a conservative activist from Hayden, sent all 105 Idaho legislators a pledge.
By signing the statement, lawmakers would promise to support what he termed medical freedom and privacy, election integrity and education freedom. They would also vow not to raise taxes, suppress free speech or support government lockdowns.
“Only four Idaho senators signed the pledge. Since then, Edwards’ political action committee, Citizens Alliance of Idaho, with help from other deep-pocketed right-wing reformers, has spent nearly $200,000 to promote incumbent senators’ primary election opponents.
The pledge is emblematic of a larger rift in the Idaho GOP over conservative values. Amid a push for activist lawmaking in the House on the coronavirus pandemic and identity politics, the Senate has remained hands-off. As a result, incumbent senators have been targeted by challengers who claim to be more conservative

Hope they have much success in their RINO replacement endeavor.
Terrible lost opportunities in PA and GA -- we needed strong MAGA candidates for Senate in PA and governor for GA.
Remove all RINOs!! Especially in deep Red states like Idaho...
The ID countryside may be red, but Boise is blue.
And the US senator who’s up? Crapo is 71, getting stale-Mormon. 4 GOP challengers to split up the opposition, none of them noteworthy. Still he’s got an ACU rating of 91%.
The article is about the Idaho State Senators, not the Idaho Senators in Congress.
But your point is valid.
Don’t be shocked if the state house and the state senate end up more conservative after this election.
The vast majority of those moving to Idaho are conservatives not liberals
I think a lot of RINOs in Idaho are going to be shocked come Wednesday
BOTH of their US Senators voted for the Biden Boondoggle bill.
The most conservative (allegedly) states elect the worst Assistant Democrats.
Nothing to lose, then, by removing their Congressional Representatives and Senators seated as a result of the 2020 elections. Both states had mules harvesting mail-in ballots; one of them did not have a required public referendum of the law changes. They do not have the required authority of winning a lawful election to claim title to their offices.

You were right! See below story!
Thanks for the heads up.
I knew it.
This is just the beginning. We will turn this state into a strong Conservative state like Florida and Texas, thanks to all the conservatives comping up.
We can smell a RINO 100 miles away. Many are like me, I see the same crap up here I saw in Crapifornia and I’ll be damned if I’ll ever move again. it is time to wake up the people.
We will replace them one election at a time. If we can do it again in 2024, imagine the fear we will put in the establishment.
