OPINION: The new Republican Party
Brent Regan
Kootenai County is the home of the most successful, respected and emulated Republican Central Committee in Idaho, the Kootenai County Republican Central Committee or KCRCC. The mission of the KCRCC is to enhance freedom and prosperity by promoting fiscally and socially conservative candidates who will implement the Idaho Republican Party Platform as policy.
Republican voters were weary of having candidates who called themselves “conservative” to get elected only to find out that they were more closely aligned with liberal Democrat policies. Republican voters demanded that the Republican Party “do something” about these Republican In Name Only (RINO) candidates. In response, over the past three years the KCRCC has developed a system for evaluating candidates with the goal of finding those that best align with the principles articulated in the Republican Platform. The KCRCC invests hundreds of man hours every election recruiting, vetting, evaluating and ultimately rating the available candidates in order to make a recommendation to the voters.
