Idaho Supreme Court candidate Robyn Brody has launched a statewide TV ad, running in every Idaho market including Boise, Idaho Falls, Pocatello, Lewiston, and on cable in North Idaho; it touts her legal experience and high ratings in the recent Idaho State Bar survey on the qualifications of judicial candidates.

Meanwhile, the Idaho Prosperity Fund, the political action committee operated by the Idaho Association of Commerce and Industry business lobbying group, reported spending $30,000 for an independent broadcast advertising campaign in favor of rival Curt McKenzie; the payment went to an Orlando, Fla. company for radio ads.

Brody had this to say about the independent ad campaign: “I was disappointed to learn that powerful lobbyists are buying radio ads supporting Mr. McKenzie.  This race should not be politics as usual.  The Idaho Supreme Court is different and the people of Idaho need a justice who can make independent and fair decisions based on the law"/Betsy Russell, Eye on Boise.

DFO: Dunno about you, but it gets me nervous that a business lobby is supporting a candidate in the Idaho Supreme Court race. Thoughts?
