Blaine County Republicans will hold a brunch at 8:30 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 13, to enable voters to meet the candidates for Idaho’s offices.

The brunch will be held at the Community Campus in Hailey. Cost is $30. Reservations can be made by calling Julie Lynn at 208-303-7046 or emailing her at gopblaineidaho@gmail.com.

More than a dozen Republican candidates for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Treasurer, Secretary of State, Controller, Attorney General and Superintendent of Public Instruction are expected to attend.

They will meet informally with voters over brunch and an auction. A candidate’s forum will follow, beginning with presentations by gubernatorial candidates Tommy Ahlquist, Congressman Raul Labrador and Lt. Gov. Brad Little.

“It is an honor for Legislative District 26 to be the ‘Iowa of Idaho,’ hosting the first events in the 2018 primary season,” said Blaine County Rep. Chairman Mike Leach.

The Blaine County Lincoln Day Brunch and Candidates Forum are sponsored by the Blaine County Republican Central Committee and Blaine County Republican Women.
