Fire Side Chat with local conservative candidates For those who missed it, Bonner Country Republican Women, Inc., held a Fire Side Chat with conservative candidates at the VFW in Sandpoint on October 15, 2024. In attendance were:
 Anita Aurit, the group’s Secretary, acted as the Master of Ceremonies and got the candidates to spill the tea on the challenges they’ve faced in recent months. Ron Korn discussed what it was like to participate in his first meetings as an interim Commissioner. The governor appointed him to the position when Luke Omodt resigned to return to teaching in September. Korn also answered questions from the crowd regarding the growing population in Bonner County and the impact on its infrastructure. Finally, he encouraged individuals to attend the Bonner County Commissioner meetings on Tuesdays at 9:00 AM. Visit bonnercountyid.gov for more information. Brian Domke addressed the inaccurate and outrageous claims that have been made about his family since Cornel Rasor described what it’s like to run for office and be in office while rebuilding his business, the Army Surplus Store, which was lost due to arson this past summer. Like Korn, the governor appointed Rasor to office Dennis Engelhardt, who currently serves as County Assessor and is running unopposed for the office, explained When asked, “How can we help?” the candidates agreed:

winning the primary election in May. More importantly, he reminded the audience of his qualifications for the role of County Commissioner. Those include having had responsibility for a budget larger than Bonner County’s in a past business role and his strong conservative values. Finally, he reminded the crowd of the risks of Proposition 1 and the impact it would have on ensuring an honest, accurate election in Bonner County.
when his predecessor stepped down for a new job. However, he’s only in the position until the New Year unless we re-elect him. Lucky for Bonner County residents, despite the challenging time in Rasor’s life, he seems to be enjoying his role in the legislature, and, on top of that, he is hopeful he’ll be able to reopen the Army Surplus Store in a new location in Sandpoint before the end of the year.
his job responsibilities and acknowledged the great work of the people on his team. Upon questioning by audience members, he described how property is assessed, and his plan to ensure the Assessor’s office will continue to run effectively as the area’s population expansion continues.OUR EVENTS

Latest From Our Facebook Page . . . | An informed voter is a powerful voter. Identifying as a conservative is not the same as being a true conservative. How do you know where candidates stand and which organization is more than conservative in name only? Here are some tips to help: Follow the money. This state site has financial reports of candidates, organizations, and individuals that will tell you where funding comes from. Don’t fall for the name. The “Idaho Liberty PAC” spent its donor money on the campaigns of those who opposed the true liberty candidates. “Reclaim Idaho,” a Democratic organization trying to circumvent the people's will via the initiative process. “Take Back Idaho” has attacked the Idaho Freedom Foundation, a true conservative organization (and a good source of information). Idaho 97 supported mandatory vaccinations and masks and opposed the school choice movement. “Defend and Protect Idaho PAC” was created to attack true conservative candidates as “too extreme” and obtained most of its funding from liberals outside of Idaho. North Idaho Voter Services has attacked Bonner County Republican Women Inc, (BCRWI) our President, and other conservatives by label-lynching with the term “right-wing extremists.” They also sent out mailers encouraging cross-over voting during the primaries. Watch for label-lynching and keywords. Do they praise moderates and attack those who stand for the Constitution? Do they label lynch with terms such as “right-wing extremist” and “militant Christian fundamentalism” and describe any conservable viewpoint as “hateful rhetoric”? Find out for yourself. Attend meetings (school board, county commissioners, city council and other city meetings, library board—any meetings where decisions affect your quality of life and your tax dollars) in person or via zoom. Republican Central Committee meetings are a good way to discover the true conservatives in the county. It is possible to know where people stand. Watch with whom they align, listen to what they say, watch whom they attack, follow the money, vet everyone, and then use your vote to support true conservatives. |
