Idaho D’s Pick Roark As New State Chairman

"Idaho currently has a United States Senator who has disgraced our state and placed his own petty interests above the good of the public. We have a United States Representative whose comments about Islam show not only ignorance of the United States Constitution but a total lack of common decency. We have a Governor who never holds a press conference and disdains the very notion of public access to elected officials. Where there is no effective, two party system there is no accountability. Where there is no accountability there is no responsibility. Elected officials, under such circumstances, eventually ignore not just those who did not vote for them but those who did as well" -- Idaho Demo Chairman Keith Roark (pictured).

Question: How can Democrats close two-party gap in Idaho?
