GOP’ers vie to take on Minnick
Rep. Ken Roberts, R-Donnelly, has brought on House Speaker Lawerence Denney as his campaign chairman in his bid for the 1st Congressional District seat, and says he's gearing up his campaign - though Roberts reported raising not a penny for the run as of June 30. Meanwhile, fellow GOP hopeful Vaughn Ward has been actively campaigning for several months, has raised more than $125,000, and has his own big GOP names on board. Both are vying for a chance to take on Congressman Walt Minnick, the first Democrat to hold the 1st District congressional seat since 1994. You can read my full story here at spokesman.com.
