IDAHOANS FOR LIBERTY VOTERS’ GUIDE
Each election cycle ID4L sends out recommendations and endorsements in local races. We generally try to suggest a candidate in each race. These recommendations do not necessarily imply that a candidate is a “liberty candidate,” -- we simply take the races as they are, and try to suggest the best person. Some races may receive no recommendation because there is no acceptable candidate.
Thanks go out to the Idaho Freedom Foundation and their “Liberty Index” which ranks the voting records of Legislators. This handy tool was used to assist the decision on whether to recommend legislative incumbents.
Names that are in bold or have a star receive a special endorsement from ID4L: We endorse these candidates because they share our conservative/libertarian/constitutional beliefs and are in competitive races. Therefore, we highly recommend that if you are going to spend time or money helping a candidate, you help these candidates.
ID4L will not select a candidate for special help if they are either guaranteed to win or lose. Rather, we look to the races where involvement could be the difference between winning and losing.
This is by no means a perfect list and suffers a bit because we did not have time to extensively analyze every race. While we normally have endorsed in Ada County races, we extended it to cover all Canyon County races as well. This was a busy year with a huge number of candidates, including three high-profile judicial races which you normally never see.
I hope this list can help guide you in your decisions this Tuesday!
Sincerely,
IDAHOANS FOR LIBERTY
