Has Bonner County Republican Central Committee (BCRCC) Chairman Scott Herndon defected from his own party? Herndon, a newcomer to Idaho politics, first registered to vote in Idaho just eight years ago. He later rose to chair the BCRCC and served as state Senator for the 2023-24 term. In this year’s May primary, Herndon was defeated by life-time Republican Jim Woodward for the LD1 Senate seat.
Accordingly, Woodward appears on the November ballot as the Republican Senate candidate.
Yet in a recent public announcement, Herndon, chair of the Republican party, encouraged voters to stop the Republican candidate, Woodward, from winning the November election. Is Herndon truly a Republican or does he have a mouthful of sour grapes?
