Big thanks to We Are Idaho for hosting the candidate meet and greet in Caldwell today, as well as Ballet Folklorico for putting on a show for us. Love to see the community getting engaged in our local politics!

I just can't imagine having to hide my political views from the political party I was actively engaged in.

I've had many people turn down my signs for the same reason. Sometimes they just want to be sure they stay on friendly terms with them. Sometimes they're afraid of what the guy who flew a "f*ck your feelings" flag and who open carries will do to them. I don't take it personally.

Hate to jinx it, but I'm pretty hopeful they will. The media, and lots of politicians, make it out to be a black or white issue, but lots of people have a more nuanced view of the topic than we give them credit for. There are plenty of conservatives who will vote for it

Cliff Hohman @cliff-for-idaho.org · 18/09/2026

And that's fair. *Someone* has a bill for it somewhere, though. And they have all the motivation in the world to not go looking for it. It's a minor point compared to making them reconsider having the cameras, but it's valid for taxpayers to ask about it.

That would be a lot more relevant to our lives than arguing over who gets to join the local junior high volleyball team.

I heard all year about Republicans who wanted to sign the Prop 1 initiative, but couldn't because their name would be public and they didn't want the blowback. And here we are.

Oh, of course they know. There may be some technical reason why they can't disclose that, but if nothing else, there's an invoice sitting somewhere.

It's amazing how many people defend this by pointing out that public schools sometimes don't perform well. You know how to guarantee they won't perform well? Cut their funding to the bone by funneling it to private schools. Which also don't always perform well, by the way.

I got it as well. Willing to bet the Risch campaign or supporting PAC paid for this as a way to mislead voters.

That's so kind, Bill! The culture war stuff is maddening. In 8 years of talking to voters for non-profits and various electoral campaigns, including my own, I've only ever had one person cite a culture war issue as their main concern. Normal people just don't think that stuff is important.

All of you, listen up and get it together like this guy ☝️

I seriously get these comments, and it's wild. How exactly do they think I plan to do that? I'm just trying to help Idahoans afford to live here and have a good life. If that goes against the policies of our current government leaders... well maybe consider what that says about them.

Can anyone think of what's happened in the past 18 months to make our cost of living go up so quickly? 🤔

I've had several folks ask me if we're even going to be able to do mail-in ballots. Assume we will. If you don't vote, then you are guaranteeing that your voice won't be heard. Discouraging us is part of their plan. So vote. If your vote didn't matter, they wouldn't be trying to mess with it.

I knew a guy who would club them with a stick when he was out hiking and then carry them back to camp. Some interesting survival instincts in these forest grouse.

Thank you! I knew they did, but I didn't want to go digging it up.

The thing is, the Idaho GOP doesn't see it as a waste of money. They *plan* to spend taxpayer money defending legislation and actions they know ultimately will not stand up in court. I don't know if it's an effort to earn cred with their far-right base, or what, but it's deliberate.

While I'm glad we do have a law on the books regarding Flock and other automated license plate reader systems, it's not enough. I take our 4th amendment rights seriously. Keep making your voices heard, and support candidates who share your concerns. secure.actblue.com/donate/cliff...

I'll be having Office Hours again at the Flying M in Nampa tonight from 6-8. Everyone and anyone is welcome to drop by and have a chat about whatever is on your mind.

Cliff Hohman, Democratic Party candidate for Idaho House of Representatives District 13 seat A, is having office hours at the Flying M Coffee Garage Monday, August 31, from 6-8 pm.

We all shoulda learned this lesson in the runup to the 2024 election, when a lot of us (myself included for a little while) said "yes food costs more, but job numbers are good" or insert whatever metric was strong. Telling people they are wrong to feel squeezed only makes them angry.

I hope the Claremont fire woke some people up. Our firefighters have done a terrific job keeping the valley safe so far, but there are limits to what they can do. Especially with a changing climate and budget cuts.

And yes, my point is that I *do* support term limits. In fact, I'm voluntarily limiting myself. A number of states have a 12-year limit on legislators, and that sounds like plenty to me. So, you'll see me dip out after 6 terms, no matter what.

Cliff Hohman @cliff-for-idaho.org · 26/08/2026

Did you guys know that Idaho actually *had* term limits for most elected offices until 2002? TBH, I didn't realize that until today. We were the first state to do such a thing. What pioneers! 🧵

Do y'all like term limits? The Idaho Republican Party does not. Article I Section 5 part E of the Idaho Republican Party platform states:🧵

Saw this earlier, and... yeah. Those people knew what was coming and couldn't outrun it. Horrible.

These things still routinely have trouble predicting how many legs a person should have or copying a map of the Earth. The Singularity is not nigh.

Cliff Hohman @cliff-for-idaho.org · 26/08/2026

I hate it when they do that. If you don't follow politics closely, you don't know what they're really asking. Then they get to say, "80% of the population opposes XYZ" when that's not at all what they asked.

I kind of loosely follow deep sea missions like Okeanos and Nautlius, and it's sadly not unusual to find random garbage 4 km down. I've never heard of anything like this, though!

In 10 years of talking to Idaho voters for nonprofits and political campaigns, including my own, I've only bumped into one person who cited a culture war issue as their biggest concern. If you bring it up, they will have an emotional reaction, but it is not what they're really worried about.

I've been really impressed that Phil has done his job. ... that's an absurd statement in a way, but that's where the bar is these days. And it's also not sarcasm, I'm really grateful he's doing his job despite what must be intense pressure to weaponize his position.

I, on the other hand, have a ton of notes. We have two very different views about this state and where we are headed. Which one do you think is more in touch with Nampa? Who understands you better? Who will fight for you? You can decide for yourselves. idahonews.com/politics/kno...
