IDAHO, USA — Dorothy Moon has been re-elected by her party to be the Chairwoman of the Idaho GOP. The announcement was made on X, formally known as Twitter, on June 15. According to the post, Moon won by a vote of 376 to 228 against opponent Mary Souza.
Moon, considered by some to be a far-right politician, was an Idaho Republican Representative from 2016 to 2022 and has been the chair since 2022. She will now serve two more years in the position.
The the Idaho Democratic Party responded to the win from Moon with a statement from Democratic Party Chair Lauren Necochea:
"Today's reelection of Dorothy Moon further entrenched the extremists who have taken over the Idaho Republican Party. If my grandmother – a Reagan Republican born and raised in Idaho — were alive today, she would not believe what has become of the party. While the Idaho GOP becomes unrecognizable to traditional Republicans, I invite voters of all political stripes to get to know their local Democratic candidates. If you want to stop the school closures and cuts to educational services, your best bet is voting for Idaho Democrats. If you want to protect Launch scholarships, which build our future workforce, your best bet is voting for Idaho Democrats. If you want to protect your local libraries from drowning in frivolous lawsuits, your best bet is voting for Idaho Democrats. And if you want to see our reproductive freedoms restored, you must vote for Idaho Democrats this November."
