Former Rep. Janice McGeachin of Idaho Falls, a Republican candidate for lieutenant governor, is an avid supporter of Pres. Trump and one of the state delegates who voted for him at the Republican convention. And, as we saw with Trump during his campaign, McGeachin doesn’t like what she sees with establishment politics – or the direction of Idaho leadership in general.

Her “Independence Day” message to supporters had some flowery comments about God and country. But it also contained some serious political fireworks for this 4th of July, setting herself apart from three other candidates who “see no evil” with those running for governor, or the state of leadership in general. She has staked out the “conservative” territory in this race against three relative moderates – Sen. Marv Hagedorn, Rep. Kelley Packer and former Idaho GOP chair Steve Yates/Chuck Malloy, Idaho Politics Weekly. More here.
