Gregory Graf Idaho
I’m Gregory Graf, a lifelong Conservative Republican in Idaho dedicated to restoring integrity and common sense to Idaho politics. I created Political Potatoes, Idaho’s best new political Substacks, to expose the extremists who have hijacked the Idaho GOP and are steering it away from its true conservative roots. Through sharp, unapologetic commentary, I challenge misinformation, call out bad-faith tactics, and push back against the radical agendas that are harming our state.
I also built IdahoVoters.com, Idaho's most comprehensive and user-friendly voter guide. My goal is to provide voters with clear, factual information about candidates, policies, and election procedures—countering the confusion and deliberate misinformation that far-right groups use to manipulate elections. IdahoVoters.com has become a trusted resource for Idahoans who want to make informed choices based on real facts rather than party-driven narratives.
Some of my most important commentaries include:
The Idaho GOP’s Descent into Christian Nationalism – Exposing the growing influence of Christian nationalism within Idaho’s Republican Party.
Thank You, Idaho Legislators, for Standing Up to Extremism – Recognizing legislators who push back against radicalism.
The Lunacy of ‘Confrontational Politics’ – Breaking down the toxic tactics of Idaho’s political agitators.
Bryan Smith & the Weaponization of Lawfare – Exposing how lawsuits are being used as political weapons.
How the Idaho Freedom Foundation Uses Young Americans for Liberty to Push Extremism – Unmasking the shadow network fueling Idaho’s radical shift.
I’m not here to play politics—I’m here to fight for the conservative principles that made Idaho strong: limited government, personal responsibility, and accountable leadership. I refuse to let extremists redefine conservatism in a way that serves their own self-interest at the expense of real Idaho values.
I got my start in Idaho politics, helping Sen. Doug Ricks defeat far-right activist and current President of the Idaho Freedom Foundation, Ron Nate in 2018. From there, I helped other good Republican legislative candidates win seats in the House and Senate, like Sen. Kevin Cook and Rep. Marco Erickson. I’ve been advising candidates and educating voters on what’s going on inside Idaho Republican politics and policy ever since.
