IEA’s Board of Directors endorses prop 1 + creating open primaries in Idaho. Approval ensures policymakers would be more accountable to all Idahoans — not just a single group — with better public school policy being the result. ☑️ Vote yes! Volunteer: yesforopenprimaries.com/volu…

The Jerome County Rep. Cent. Comm. is dedicating an hour of its meeting Thursday to the Open Primaries Initiative. I will be explaining why I believe it it is good for Idaho and good for the Republican Party. Dorothy and Darr Moon will be explaining why they disagree. #idpol

I do not have to “sell” the open primaries initiative. I just explain it. Once people understand what it does and how it works, very few don’t support it. Most of my conversations are with other Republicans. #idpol

This is a must-read from Randy Stapilus. "At the end of a long road to ballot qualification, Idahoans will get to decide whether all the voters, or only a tiny sliver of them, will pick the leaders of its government going forward." #YesOn1 #idpol idahopress.com/opinion/colum…

Replying to @NickTroiano @OpenPrimariesID
Nothing about the Open Primaries Initiative prevents any party from supporting its chosen candidate. They can choose who to support, then persuade people to vote for that candidate. Parties should organize and persuade -- not control who appears on the ballot.
