Corrections

Sunday’s article about the organization Idaho Conservatives contained two errors.

One was an editing error, where the word “former” was mistakenly dropped from a reference to one-time Idaho Conservatives Communication Director Holly Cook.

The other error was mis-attribution of the following quote. The Press story attributed the quote to Cook, but it actually came from the main source for the article, Idaho Conservatives leader Jennifer Ellis:

“The whole reason we rebooted Idaho Conservatives was because we want to attack ideals, not people. We want to defend Idaho’s values, but that means having a genuine dialogue with people we disagree with. We shouldn’t be debasing ourselves with name-calling or demonizing people, certainly not within our own party, because we don’t always agree on everything. And the ‘wamen’ thing is ridiculous.”

The Press apologizes to Cook and to Ellis for the mistakes.
