Our goal is to help voters flesh out Quality Candidates through the tedious and extensive work of our Vetting Committee.
Thank you to the BCRCC members and volunteer Bonneville voters that selflessly serve to gather this information.
Candidate Surveys
Questionnaires are given to candidates to give them an opportunity to express themselves on issues, and allows voters to gain a more clear picture of the platform the candidate is running on. We believe knowledge is power and informed voters are the key to preserving the Idaho we love. We encourage all voters to get to know their candidates and make informed decisions when voting.
Candidates with integrity are eager to share their viewpoints
and trust voters to make informed decisions.
Candidate Vetting Process
Candidates were sent identical surveys (responses posted in their entirety below). The Candidate Committee, compiled of Central committee members and residents of Bonneville County, meet to evaluate candidate responses and how they aligned with the Idaho Republican Party Platform then compile the information and present it to the Central Committee. The Central Committee calls a special meeting where your elected neighborhood PCOs debate and vote to determine which candidates should be recommended as best suited to represent Republicans and their Platform. Recommended candidates require a 2/3 majority vote using a secret ballot. The rating rubric includes the following:
-
Alignment with Platform
-
Outside Ratings
-
Sources of Funding
-
Integrity in Affiliation Form (I & A)
-
Survey Answers
We encourage candidates to participate in this process to provide transparency for voters.
Candidates with integrity are eager to share their viewpoints
and trust voters to make informed decisions.
