Independents drive political change

Independents get short shrift in Idaho. And that’s irksome, to say the least.

As a lifelong Idahoan, proud military Veteran, and independent voter, I know we can do better. Which is why I helped co-found Veterans for Idaho Voters.

Like nearly a third of Idaho voters, I don’t want to affiliate as an R or a D. I’m frustrated that the only way I get a real voice in our primaries is to register Republican, where most of our races are decided. Or be left to take a Democratic ticket. But at no time can I simply be an independent and vote for the person I want.
