Mike Kennedy's our man for Idaho Democrat news

Didn’t know if you caught this or not, but the Idaho Democratic state party chair Carolyn Boyce announced that she is stepping down after a long tenure that oversaw some progress for Democrats in 2002 and 2003. It’s been in the works behind the scenes for a little while, and Democrats will be happy to know that some very strong names are considering running for chair to take over and continue re-building. Two that are considering making the rounds are: Keith Roark, former mayor of Hailey, Idaho, former Blaine County prosecutor, and former candidate for Attorney General who ran a very impressive race in 2002, and Richard Stallings, current Pocatello City Councilman, former congressman, former professor at Ricks College and retired head of the Pocatello Neighborhood Housing Authority. Both of these are truly inspired people who would be great candidates.

The Democratic party is alive and well – with candidates of this caliber to take on what is in its best times a tough job.
