From the CPID:

The Constitution Party of Idaho now has one man in office in an elected position! Randy Patterson had been talking about running for mayor for about a year and was the only man who "applied" for the job. When he signed up to run, the current Mayor decided he didn't really have the time to give the job that it needed. He was also in charge of the local airport and needed to get it moved to a new location. So, he decided to quit early. The city council met and talked about one of their own members filling in until the election, but since it was uncontested, they simply decided to have Randy be the acting mayor until the election. So he will be the acting mayor until he is sworn in as mayor. Carrie, ID is a town of 1200 people in Blaine County, one of the most liberal counties in Idaho.

Great Job, Randy! We applaud you as the first member of the Party in office!

Randy hopes, while in office, to help the citizens better understand the proper role of government and the Constitution. He hopes to make sure that in his city, government funds are not being used in an improper manner.

Keep it up folks we are winning hearts and minds.

This is a perfect example of why it is important to run as many nominees as possible for offices at all levels. You just never know when you get one "for free". Once in office if a CP member does a good job it lays the groundwork for others to follow. It is important to run competent individuals just in case they win! Good luck, Randy Patterson!

Outstanding!

That is wonderful news!! He has a bully pulpit to inform his constituents on the constitution and when he does a good job, he can demonstrate not only to the town but to the county as well that CST candidates are good stewards of the public trust. Thank you for the update.
