Republican leader falters Kelly McKamey/ Guest Letter RexburgStandardJournal.com

Editor,

The Idaho Republican Party has a new chairman Steve Yates. It appears in some respects that he wants to unite the Republican Liberty Caucus with the establishment wing of the party. He appears to have made a fatal mistake.

Yates has appointed former U.S. Senator Larry Craig as the finance chairman of the Idaho Republican party. Not only is Larry Craig a general embarrassment to the state of Idaho, but it has recently been ruled that he has misused over $200,000 in campaign funds, which he must repay, and pay a $45,000 fine as well. This is who Mr. Yates trusts to gather money for the Republican Party?

This is a ridiculous way to show that the Republican Party values integrity and wants to be seen as embracing the values of liberty-minded Republicans. The Republican Party leaders will not be able to recover from the injuries sustained by being deceitful and manipulative at the State Convention in Moscow by foisting the likes of Larry Craig as the fund-raising poster boy.

Larry Craig may be able to gather some funds from his acquaintances in various airports, but conservatives with moral values would shun this sort of fund-raising. Hopefully Mr. Yates will rethink this appointment.

MIDDLETOWN Republican candidate for state representative Angel Fernandez, until recently an unknown in local politics, said his deep military and business experience make him an ideal candidate to swipe a seat from Democrats this November.

Fernandez, 45, is facing State Rep. Matt Lesser, the Democratic incumbent, in the race for the 100th House District seat.

He said he grew up in the North End of Hartford and has lived in Middletown for 17 years. He spent 18 years in the U.S. Navy, retiring in 2007 due to injury as a master-at-arms second class.

"Right now people are so disappointed with both parties," he said. "It's shocking how disconnected a lot of our politicians are with a lot of people."

Fernandez described himself as "a big Second Amendment guy" but stressed that his campaign is also focusing heavily on rolling back some Common Core education requirements and cutting taxes.

He said he felt laws already in place before new gun control laws were enacted if they had been properly enforced would have been sufficient to address gun violence. He also said the new laws did not address many concerns about mental health, and said as a state representative he would support the rights of gun owners.

Fernandez was served in Operation Desert Storm and was deployed four times to Iraq and Afghanistan in the recent conflicts as part of a military police unit and an anti-terrorism unit providing security.

By his view of the local political scene, elected officials are out of touch with the needs of low- and middle-income residents.

"I served and I fought for my country and I came home to find a mess," Fernandez said.

He is now the owner of Eleven Charlie, a consulting company he started with friends from the Navy. The firm provides threat assessments for corporate and public buildings. He also has volunteered as deputy director of emergency management for the city for five years.
