Here it is. Feel free to download the image a print it, give it to friends, use it as a placemat at special dining events… whatever.

So here is an explanation of what this chart shows.

We grabbed both the Idaho Freedom Foundation’s Freedom and Spending index scores and on top of that we went to the Idaho Republican Party website to get their legislator scores for platform conformance.

Then we noted who was a chair of a committee, speaker of the house, or other positions that denote powerful influence over the legislature. We call it the “power rating”, and we use that to help you see who the more important members are that have a huge influence over what laws can get past.

Here are some conclulsions we can draw from this data:

• Democrats all vote democrat – there are no DINOs (Democrats In Name Only).
• Close to half of the republicans don’t vote republican or with the republican platform.
• Currently, republicans hold the power seats but as older, more powerful republicans leave the legislature, it can be seen that the left can take over the legislature quickly.

We hope this information becomes an effective force to help educate true conservative Idaho voters that just voting R is no longer sufficient to get what you want from your representative.
