MY TURN: Rating and vetting — a view from inside
Much is being discussed, both for and against, regarding the Kootenai County Republican Central Committee’s rating and vetting process. This system was put into place because some politicians had been elected who didn’t vote for bills in support of the ideals found in Idaho’s GOP platform. Some were not even actual Republicans. They put an R by their name because they thought that would get them elected. Thus, the need to rate and vet candidates.
As a precinct committeeman, I would like to share with you what goes into the rating and vetting process so you can better understand how we come to create our recommended list of candidates. The first time I participated in the process, I was impressed with its thoroughness.
Every candidate running as a Republican has the option of looking to be recommended by the KCRCC. If they seek the recommendation, they are asked to fill out a questionnaire. This questionnaire is given to every candidate, and it contains 10 questions. You can view the questionnaire at the KCRCC website under rating and vetting: https://shorturl.at/akqz2.
