THOUGHT ONE:
Make Ada Great Again: Our Mission
Make Ada Great Again is a Republican grassroots effort to restore the effectiveness of the Ada County Republican Central Committee and the Republican Party. Over 100 Republicans in Ada County’s nine districts are running for Precinct Committeemen and Committeewomen seats and all are pledged to unite and energize our party and elect Republicans. We will train our PCs to know their important role in the Party, we will put together a highly effective Republican Central Committee, we will work to make the State Republican Party stronger and we will work with our neighbors, our towns and our legislators – all to advance the cause of Republicanism and Conservatism.
We are Republicans who stand firmly for free speech, religious liberty, the sanctity of life, the 2nd Amendment, U.S. & Idaho sovereignty, keeping government accountable to its citizens, honoring the rule of law, fiscal responsibility, smaller government, equal opportunity and we honor and respect our military and first responders.
Make Ada Great Again is Ada Focused – Idaho Strong and America First!
Make Ada Great Again believes in Family, Faith and Freedom.
Make Ada Great Again will Unify the Party – Energize the Party – and Win!
THOUGHT TWO:
Republicans Need to Unify
One of Make Ada Great Again’s guiding principles is unifying the REPUBLICAN party. The divisiveness and name-calling must stop. Ultimately, we are REPUBLICANS who stand for:
Protecting Free Speech
Protecting Religious Liberty
Protecting Life
Protecting 2nd Amendment Rights
Encouraging Fiscal Responsibility
Lowering Taxes
Keeping the Government Accountable to the People
Honoring Our Constitution and Bill of Rights
Supporting our Military & First Responders
Promoting Free Enterprise
Promoting Equal Opportunity
Promoting Equal Justice
Promoting Equal Rights
Maintaining U.S. and Idaho Sovereignty
We believe in Ronald Reagan’s principle: “The person who agrees with you 80 percent of the time is a friend and an ally – not a 20 percent traitor.”
The person who agrees with you 80 percent of the time is a friend and an ally – not a 20 percent traitor. – Ronald Reagan
Aligned – focused – working together – we can take the various stripes that make the Republican Party a “big-tent party” and do amazing things for Ada County and Idaho. And we must heed the words of our first Republican President Abraham Lincoln who said: “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” Please join us in Making Ada Great Again.
THOUGHT THREE:
Winning Against Democrats Because of What we Stand FOR
Electing Republicans and advancing Republicanism and Conservatism is the Ada County Republican Central Committee’s most important function. Republicans have to defeat Democrats, Progressivism and a growing strain of Socialism.
Democrats have made inroads in Ada County and we need to repel this and work hard to Keep Ada Red and Keep Idaho Red!
Idaho natives and people moving to Idaho from all over the country love Idaho because Idaho reflects the founding values of our Country written in the Declaration of Independence – that we are all created equal – that we are endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights – that are delineated in the Bill of Rights – and that we can pursue Life – Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. When people plead that we should “Keep Idaho….Idaho” it is a high compliment.
Jefferson reminds us that: “Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed – That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it.”
The type of government Democrats seek is against all we stand for and would be destructive and we strongly believe in that which Republicans stand FOR. While Democrats attack free speech at college campuses, Republicans believe that an educated society should freely debate issues and make decisions on what they believe for themselves. Democrats do not defend religious liberty while Republicans believe the free exercise and expression of religion is central to personhood. Democrats do not protect the unborn but Republicans fight for those who can’t defend themselves and cherish life. Prominent Democratic leaders support gun restrictions – but Republicans believe in the Constitutionally protected right to self-defense and defense of one’s own family.
Democrats fight for open borders – plead for the end of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) – defend globalism – and place the rights of non-citizens above those of citizens with the support of statuary city policies. Republicans believe in protecting the interests of, and dealing with the economic and societal issues of America’s citizens first. Democrats believe in bigger government, higher taxes, income redistribution and government control of health care. Rep. Ocasio-Cortez’s “Green New Deal” would completely disrupt our way of life at an estimated cost of $93 trillion! Bernie Sanders’ single-payer healthcare system would cost $30 trillion and his Socialist plans would double the size of government spending relative to GDP. We must reject these policies and defeat Democrats. That is our main cause. As Ronald Reagan said “…government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.”
Unfortunately, after Democrats captured 2 Representative seats in District 15 in 2018, Republicans control less than half of Ada County’s legislative seats! In 2018, Republicans lost two Ada Country Commissioner seat races and now only control 1 of 3 seats. Republicans used to control all three seats. This trend cannot continue.
We must defeat Democrats at the ballot box by mobilizing the financial and personnel resources to win! The Make Ada Great Again grassroots movement of over 100 Republicans in Ada County’s nine districts pledges to Keep Idaho Red and work hard to support, fundraise and work on campaigns to help Republican candidates win! Please support our candidates and our cause.
We are Republicans who stand firmly for free speech, religious liberty, the sanctity of life, the 2nd Amendment, U.S. & Idaho sovereignty, keeping government accountable to its citizens, honoring the rule of law, fiscal responsibility, smaller government, equal opportunity and we honor and respect our military and first responders.

THOUGHT FOUR:
We are Committed to Training Our Precinct Committeemen and Committeewomen
Make Ada Great Again’s #1 priority will be training PCs! PCs have such an important role in the Republican Party but have not been given the tools, guidance and support they need to truly make a difference! That will change day one if you elect our Make Ada Great Again candidates!
Here’s the type of training we will strive to offer:
- Being a Great Precinct Committeeman and Committeewoman: – This training will focus on the roles and responsibilities of the PC.
- How to Campaign. Whether you are supporting a candidate, working for a candidate or you are a candidate, you have to know the ins and outs of a campaign.
- How to Fundraise. To use all the levers of a campaign – social media – websites – mailings – palm cards – campaign signs – media – you have to know how to raise money.
- How to Use Social Media and the Internet. The importance of being proficient in both the use of social media and the Internet grows with every election cycle.
- The Central Committee and the State Party: The Central Committee has many important committees and officers that are mandated by the bylaws. What do these committees and officers do and how can I get involved? How does the Central Committee interact with the State Party?
