This is the change we have been looking for. Now we can all move forward together with greater transparency. The unity was refreshing.

For the first time in a decade, the Kootenai County Republican Central Committee has a new leader.

Everybody in Kootenai County, get out and vote tomorrow in the Primary Election. We are a Republican State so pretty much all of tomorrow's Republican primary winners will win in November. Now is the time when you can make the biggest difference. If you live in Dalton Gardens in Precinct 321, I would very much appreciate your vote for Precinct Committeeman tomorrow.

Thanks and God Bless!

This is why we need a new KCRCC chair and leadership.

Did KCRCC members know that the Secretary of State’s office, with input from the Attorney General’s office, had instructed Brent that Legal Defense Fund donations and expenditures should in fact be tracked under Idaho Sunshine laws BEFORE they voted to move those funds over to an outside PAC? Not sure they did.

The Secretary of State's office informed KCRCC Chair Brent Regan on March 27, 2026, a MONTH before the most recent KCRCC meeting, that all funds going to/coming from the Legal Defense Fund need to be reported in the Sunshine Reports, and all past reports need to be amended to show that money. Attached to this letter was the in-depth opinion from Attorney General Raúl Labrador office explaining that PAC money is PAC money, and it needs to be tracked.

Did Brent let the committee know about this little tidbit at the April 28 meeting? No. In fact, he said that they don't know who donated to the fund, records by the previous treasurer were not kept, and donations were "most likely from him anyway."

Does ANYONE on the committee know about this request from the SOS aside from Brent? Why didn't he mention it when the committee was having an extended discussion about this exact fund? What happens if Brent loses his PC position and Chair position? Would this omission have thrown the KCRCC into chaos? Was it on purpose or out of sheer ignorance? If it was on purpose does Brent deserve to be Chair? If it was out of sheer ignorance does Brent deserve to continue to be Chair if he can't remember pretty important information from the Secretary of State?

Whomever is elected to the KCRCC Executive Board after Tuesday's election will need to be able to hit the ground running and, I'm sorry to say, I don't believe that all the information will be given from the old Executive Board to the new one to seamlessly transfer leadership.

Did anyone get this card in the mail? This is what cheating in an election looks like. Notice that it has the KCRCC address and also says paid for by the KCRCC on the flip side at the bottom. Normally, not a problem, but this is promoting the Kootenai Freedom Caucus, which is the PAC promoting all of Brent Regan's loyalists that are running for Precinct Committeeman in the primary election. In the Idaho Republican Party rules on page 29 in Article IX, Section 2, it states that the Central Committee may not endorse any candidates for the office of Precinct Committeeman. That is clearly what is happening here. Add to this that in the last KCRCC meeting, Brent's majority voted to move the $17,000 KCRCC Committee Legal Defense Fund over to the Kootenai Freedom Caucus PAC.

Please get out and vote on Tuesday, May 19th to stop the corruption.
