What? Already? No way! Yes way. And here’s why.
Election day is May 16, 2026. That’s about 230 days from now. Which means the Idaho RINO establishment is already mustering their forces (in-state and out-of-state) against all solid Idaho conservative lawmakers, including Magic Valley’s very own.
According to Jacyn Gallagher, Chair of Idaho Freedom PAC:
- Gov. Brad Little is stockpiling cash that will almost certainly be used to target solid conservatives.
- Over the weekend, a handful of anti-platform Republicans—including one who supports amnesty for illegal immigrants—filed to run against conservative lawmakers.
- Establishment legislators are hitting up lobbyists for checks, money that will be spent to unseat conservatives who refuse to bow to leadership.
Remember, this is the same establishment that in 2025 voted down the Grocery Tax Repeal bill, then voted themselves a pay raise.
According to our Magic Valley lawmakers and candidates, May challengers are already in the works. And you can bet they will be launching their campaigns with war chests from the usual corporate donors.
