Labrador begins re-election effort

First District GOP Congressman Raul Labrador kicked off his re-election campaign with two $50-a-plate fundraisers, one in Coeur d’Alene at the Idaho Wildlife Museum in Riverstone that drew 90 people, and the other a luncheon on the 17th floor of the Zions Bank building in Boise last week that drew 188; there were also various levels of sponsorship for donors giving more. During his Boise speech, Labrador had harsh words for his Washington, D.C. colleagues. “Today’s political climate in Washington is the result of poor leadership,” he said, “but it’s not just the leadership of Obama, it’s the leadership of both parties that I think has been poor over the last few years”/Betsy Russell, Eye on Boise.
