Idaho Democratic Party

The majority of Idahoans reject voucher schemes that divert critical dollars from our neighborhood schools. But Republican politicians, bankrolled by out-of-state special interests, just won’t listen. Our kids and communities deserve leaders who fight for public schools — not against them.

NEW: Idaho House Republicans just introduced a bill to repeal voter-approved Medicaid expansion. While Democrats are working to expand access to health care across the state, Republicans are trying to rip coverage away from thousands of working Idahoans.

We are thrilled to welcome Congressman Eric Swalwell and Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta to the 31st Annual Frank and Bethine Church Gala on Saturday, March 8, in Boise. Both leaders embody the vision and resilience it takes to stand up to Trump and his MAGA allies in these unprecedented times.

Make no mistake: Trump’s Tariffs will hurt Idaho farms and raise costs for families across the state.

Mike Pohanka campaigned as a moderate, but his vote to overturn marriage equality shows he’s siding with the extreme Idaho GOP agenda. That’s not pro-family or what voters in Blaine, Lincoln, and Jerome counties sent him to Boise to do.

District 26 deserves leaders who put people over partisan politics.

The new 2025 Idaho Public Policy Survey highlights an undeniable truth: Idahoans reject the state's extreme abortion ban. Idaho Democrats will continue fighting for your health, your freedom, and your future because it’s clear the Idaho GOP won’t.

Thank you.

Today, as we honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, his words remind us of the enduring fight for justice. But bending that arc takes all of us.

On the same day Donald Trump is inaugurated, let this be a call to action, not despair. This is a setback, but our movement is resilient. We must rise, organize, and continue the work to ensure justice prevails in every corner of our nation.

"Idahoans don’t like politicians meddling with our rights, regardless of party. Even with their limitations, citizen initiatives are a check on government overreach. That’s something we can’t afford to lose for ourselves or the generations behind us."

— Chair Lauren Necochea

A Message from the Chair: Politicians Target Citizen Initiatives to Protect Reputations and Power | Idaho Democratic Party The citizen-led initiative is a proud Idaho tradition that lets everyday people make laws directly. This process ensures that when legislators prioritize special interests or ignore the will of the people, Idahoans have a tool to set things right. Unfortunately, Republican politicians are threatenin...

🚨 Idahoans, your rights are under attack! 🚨 House Bill 2 would require ballot initiatives to pass with 60% of the vote, imposing stricter rules on the people than on the politicians who are supposed to represent them. No other state has such extreme requirements.

Medicaid expansion saves lives.

Republican politicians are attacking your ballot initiative rights again.

Idahoans have a fundamental right to the citizen-led initiative, and we must fight to protect it.

BREAKING: The U.S. Supreme Court just rejected Utah's challenge to seize public lands, which Idaho AG Raul Labrador supported. But the fight isn’t over. We must stay vigilant, as similar attacks could emerge in the Idaho Legislature this session.

Parents cannot work without safe, reliable childcare. Governor Little’s proposed cuts to childcare assistance for low-income working families would hold back opportunities and weaken our workforce.

Idaho Democrats are committed to pro-family policies that empower parents and strengthen our state. We will fight to restore this critical funding.

Every woman should be free to make decisions about her own body without interference from the government.
