Boise Weekly: Sali ROMPs In DC

The D.C. Republicans are taking care of their own. In a party last night, U.S. Rep. Bill Sali picked up $66,000 worth of campaign cash. The fundraising came courtesy of House Majority Leader John Boehner and the party’s Regain Our Majority Program. The ROMP program is designed for candidates who are “politically vulnerable and/or have been targeted by the Democrats for defeat,” according to the National Republican Congressional Committee. Boehner has been a good friend to Sali, who faces a primary candidate in Matt Salisbury, followed by the well-funded Democrat Walt Minnick in November. The new money would also augment Sali’s relatively weak fundraising record so far/ Shea Andersen , Boise Weekly. More here
