Candidates' Common Interest Score
The Common Interest
Score (CIS) reflects the percentage of Common Interest positions
that a candidate supports. “CIS – Past” reflects issues on which
we took positions that have already been voted on by both the House
and the Senate. “CIS – Future” reflects positions which we have
taken which have not yet come before both the House and the Senate
for votes. The CIS – Past for incumbents is based on their actual
votes on those issues. The CIS – Future for incumbents, as well
as the CIS – Past and CIS – Future for challengers, is based on
candidates answers to our questionnaire. The Common Interest takes
positions when there is a consensus of two-thirds or more on a given
proposal among those members randomly assigned to review our policy
brief for that issue.

| Comment by Keith Allred about Candidate: |

|
| Statement by Candidate about Why Running: |
| |
Important issues to me include: helping small businesses and the self-employed obtain affordable health care coverage
- supporting strong schools
- fixing roads
- ensuring access to clean lakes and rivers
- collecting taxes fairly (no taxes on groceries, fewer exemptions for special interests) and spending them wisely |
| Candidate Statement about The Common Interest: |
| |
Thoughts about The Common Interest:
I am a member of The Common Interest, and support their views.
I think The Common Interest is a wonderful organization, and I look forward to working closely with you and your members. I wish we did not have parties at this level, so that people would have to find out about the individual candidates and make an informed decision. I think the parties tend to get in the way of getting things done in the Legislature. When I mentioned running as an Independent, I was rapidly 'put back into my place,' which was a sad lesson for me. I feel special interests have far too much influence in Idaho's legislature. I hope to represent the 'special interest' known as the people of Idaho. If we do well by them, the rest of it will take care of itself. |
