Things to watch out for:
The misnamed Idaho Liberty PAC has brought door-knockers in from out of state to attack conservative lawmakers in Canyon County. This article from the Gem State Chronicle explains how Gov. Little is indirectly funding these attacks.
Another article looks at who is behind the Gem State Conservatives, an astroturfed group led by former Idaho GOP chairmen Tom Luna and Trent Clark. They are spending literally millions of dollars to win PC races in hopes of taking control of the party this month.
Look carefully at any candidate who is endorsed by IACI or their Idaho Prosperity Fund. Will those people represent you or big business?
