Dorothy Moon, IDGOP Chairwoman

Wow! Congratulations to the Idaho Republican Party! They have become a true engine for grassroots conservatism, and to their credit they have pushed out a whole slew of RINOs in the state party, and in the state legislature.

They even defeated a couple of RINO incumbents in statewide office, as well!

Dorothy Moon was one of the most conservative state house reps in Boise, and she was outspoken in her efforts to keep Idaho Idaho. She ran into opposition not just from Democrats, but from RINO Establishment leadership in both chambers of the state legislature. She threw her hat in the ring to run for Secretary of State, but came up short in the primary.

But all was not lost. She ended up defeating the RINO incumbent Chairman of the Idaho Republican Party Tom Luna, who had served as the government-growing establishment Superintendent of Education.

Now that the RINOs and other liberal Republicans have been exposed and purged, they are striking back at the state party and its conservative leaders. They are propping Democrats for office, and they are pushing for statewide initiatives to dilute the vote and make it harder for conservatives to win office.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

October 3, 2022

Boise, ID —

A growing list of defeated Idaho Republicans are making headlines by endorsing Democrat candidates for Idaho public office, and the pattern has drawn the attention of the Legacy Media, who have frequently asked me to comment on these endorsements.

 

After ten-years of middling service in the State Senate, Fred Martin was defeated in this year’s primary. Now he has decided to publicly confirm what many of his own voters have long suspected by endorsing a Democrat for his former seat. Never mind that the Democrat was once his opponent. Never mind that the Democrat believes in abortion on demand after Martin has long claimed to be pro-life. Never mind that the Democrat is a member of the party seeking to sexualize Idaho’s children, after Martin has long claimed to be pro-family.

 

Former Idaho Supreme Court Justice Jim Jones, a self-described expert on critical race theory, has been showing his true colors, too. More than merely endorsing a Democrat, Jones is serving as campaign treasurer for a Democrat running for Idaho Attorney General. It’s just the latest in his long drift leftward. Jones has regularly harangued Idahoans about their support for legislation that enhances personal liberty. He has been an outspoken advocate for big government and rule by credentialed experts, and is a featured critic of Republicans on many Legacy Media outlets. He even writes a column in the Idaho Statesman where he has been known to comment on political races without disclosing his personal involvement in them.

 

Ben Ysursa is another former Republican office holder making a name for himself by endorsing Democrats. Ysursa was formerly Idaho’s Secretary of State and widely known as one of the most liberal secretaries of state in the country, Democrat or Republican. Ysursa opposed efforts to close the Republican primary – hoping to preserve the ability of liberal Democrats to meddle in the GOP’s primaries. Not one to let go of a bad idea, Ysursa is now one of the leading advocates for the effortbacked by Eric Holder and George Sorosto spread ranked-choice voting. Ysursa, like Jones, is now serving as a “commentator” for a liberal Legacy Media outlet. 

 

Political gadfly Tommy Ahlquist has made headlines by donating to Democrat Mayor of Boise Lauren McLean—just days after McLean’s kids’ drag show debacle. After previously campaigning for office as a “conservative,” Alquist finished last in a Republican primary, then dropped the mask and revealed his liberal political leanings on social media platforms. Ahlquist published an op-ed earlier this year calling several statewide candidates “Republicans in Name Only.” Perhaps because they had failed to join him in financially backing radical Democrats?

 

The Idaho Republican Party is a sweeping coalition with room for many. Our Unity doesn’t come through vanity or personal ambition, but in defending our party’s principles and adhering to our party’s platform. When yesterday’s Republicans become tomorrow’s Democrats, it is fair to question whether they were ever able to set aside personal gain for party good.

Dorothy Moon, 

Chairwoman of the Idaho Republican Party
