Idaho has been a bustle of political activity over the last few weeks. Between the ‘No Kings’ rallies, the ‘Bathroom Bill’ protests, and the Pride Flag tug-of-war, Idahoans and communities around the US have had their eye on the Gem State.

Even the White House acknowledged the activity happening in Idaho, and now that Idaho’s Governor, Brad Little, has vetoed nearly half a dozen bills, there is bound to be even more scrutiny from the rest of the nation.
