Join the Party of Common Sense

House Minority Leader Ilana Rubel of Boise has an invitation for those who are fed up with right-wing politics, or the continued divisions within the Republican Party. “Join the Idaho Democratic Party,” she says. “We are the party of common sense. The goal of our...

Support Open Primaries and Rank-Choice Voting
