Idaho has a chance to dump Risch

Todd Achilles is currently polling ahead of Jim Risch.

Former Idaho Democratic Representative Todd Achilles received a lifetime total score of -110 from the Idaho Freedom Foundation for his voting record on rated bills. His voting record does not align with the far right Idaho Freedom Foundation or other republican scorecards. Conservative scorecards from organizations like the GOP Scorecard assigned him poor or non-aligned ratings during his legislative tenure.
He is running against Risch as an independent.
We are kindly encouraging the democratic senator candidate to withdraw so the vote isn’t split.
All of you in Idaho, please learn about Todd. Please help to get his name out there.

As a sweet side note, apparently I sent him an email, don’t remember doing that, but last week, there he was on my front porch to say “hi” and give me a couple of signs. His daughter is scheduled to leave me a bunch of signs and other bling today.
