Kenck: ‘We’re Getting Stronger’

Idaho Democratic Party Chairman Larry Kenck, in a statement today, said the close race for state superintendent of schools was “ a testament to the fact that we ran strong despite an adverse election climate,” that saw big GOP wins both in Idaho and nationwide. Kenck said Democrats had competitive races around the state, and have a 10-year-strategy for a comeback in heavily Republican Idaho. “Tuesday’s outcomes are in actuality a positive step toward that goal,” Kenck said. “To actually gain a legislative seat in this climate, as we did, is a respectable outcome. … We hold our heads high today. Our candidates hold their heads high. … We are strong and getting stronger”/ Betsy Russell , Eye on Boise. More here.
