By Kaitlyn Shepherd
June 3, 2022
Much has already been correctly observed about the results of last month’s Republican primary in Idaho, but it is worth highlighting the major shakeup that the Senate Education Committee will experience. Several incumbent committee members, including Sen. Jim Woodward and Sen. Ryan Kerby, failed to secure the party’s nomination. Overall, the results of May’s primary […]

By Anna Miller
April 25, 2022
