I still think my rep is a fine and talented woman, and I think her star is on the rise (along with her event fees). They move in a world of high intensity and high corruption, and it takes a special person not to be affected by that. I hope she can hang on to her obvious charm and decency, and not forget about the little people or the big issues that are politically dangerous to confront.

We have some good ones in Idaho, local legislature and local government. But even so, most of the offices are filled with corruption especially in my legislative district. We’re working to get a new batch that we hope will be less corruptible, like your rep. If they win, and all others in the Idaho Freedom Caucus are retained, we have a chance to clean house.

The key is to get to know these folks in person — before they hit the big time — and to stay in touch with them. The ones who give you their phone #s and answer your calls and emails without begging for money each time are the keepers.
