Five outfits. Same team.
Idaho's extreme-politics network isn't one big organization — it's five separate outfits doing different jobs. One writes the checks. One runs the whip on the floor. One runs the propaganda side. Here's how they connect.
Citizens Alliance of Idaho / America
$450K to Idaho candidates in 2026, 99.72% of it from out of state, with most of that traced to a Pennsylvania company that sells gambling machines Idaho banned in 2015.
Idaho Freedom Caucus
Heather Scott, Tammy Nichols, and Brian Lenney run the in-chamber IFC; Scott Herndon is the returning chair candidate. Operationally separate from IFF / SFCN, cutting deals with the same Moyle and Anthon the IFF publicly attacks.
Idaho Freedom Foundation
Brent Regan chairs IFF from North Idaho and Beck anchors East Idaho — a two-headed leadership built for geographic resilience. Ron Nate is the public face, Smith is the brains, and Hurst is the operative.
The Propaganda Network
Honor Idaho, Idaho Dispatch, Stop Idaho RINOs, and adjacent sites — three main operators (Pruett, Hurst, Heida) running one coordinated message pipeline with documented cross-domain infrastructure ties.
State Freedom Caucus Network
Maria Nate runs SFCN and used to whip the chamber Idaho Freedom Caucus. The IFC has since split off, and SFCN's effective Idaho whip-list is now smaller and no longer matches the chamber IFC roster.
