By Idaho GOP Chairwoman Dorothy Moon
Voting is one of the most important privileges citizens have in our republican system, but it’s not enough to cast your ballot in the General Election. Here in Idaho, whoever wins in May almost always wins in November. Next Tuesday is your opportunity to have a say in the direction of our society, and I implore you not to take it for granted.
Over the past few weeks, I’ve explained how to identify candidates who truly believe in conservative and Republican principles, why the Idaho GOP asks candidates to sign the Integrity in Affiliation form, why it’s important to call out dishonest campaign materials, and why voters must step up and participate in our society. Now, with the election only days away, it’s time to turn those words into action.
The purpose of the primary election is to build a team of Republicans to take on the Democrats in November and then carry out the will of the voters next year. Choosing a strong slate of nominees is just as important—if not more important—than showing up to vote in the fall.
Folks, you have to realize what time it is. The leader of the Democrats in Congress promised “maximum warfare, everywhere, all the time.” The radical left has declared war on our history, our values, and our families, and will stop at nothing to impose its twisted Marxist system on our country.
This is a battle we must fight, but our weapons are ballots, not guns. Next Tuesday, we have the awesome responsibility of selecting the Republican team that will go to Boise and Washington, DC, to fight for faith, family, and freedom.
Don’t sit this one out. Next week, you will choose who represents us in Congress, in the Senate, and in the House of Representatives. These men and women make decisions every day that impact our entire country. You will also choose who represents us in the Statehouse. Over the past few years, Republican lawmakers in Idaho have led on medical freedom, school choice, tax cuts, right-sizing the state budget, rooting out DEI in public colleges, and protecting women’s spaces from men playing dress-up.
Let’s keep that momentum growing. Not only must we elect Republicans, we must elect the right kind of Republicans—those who are honest with voters and who stand for the enduring values that made America and Idaho great in the first place. At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter how many mailers, television commercials, or text messages you receive. The power to decide who represents you in government belongs to you, the citizen voter of Idaho.
If you haven’t already voted early or by mail, please make a plan to vote on Tuesday, May 19. The future of Idaho depends on it.
