Take Back Idaho PAC

Take Back Idaho PAC is a moderate Republican political action committee founded in 2022 by a coalition that includes Jennifer Ellis (PAC chair), former Idaho Secretary of State Ben Ysursa, former Speaker Bruce Newcomb, former Speaker Bob Geddes, and former Idaho Supreme Court Justice Jim Jones. The PAC was created by Idaho Republicans and civic leaders who believe in principled, functional conservative governance and who wanted to support mainstream candidates committed to those values. Take Back Idaho became notable for aggressive advertising campaigns in support of Governor Brad Little's 2022 re-election bid and for backing legislative candidates who prioritize delivering results for their constituents. The PAC argues that Idaho's best traditions of public service — honest, accountable, and focused on the practical needs of Idaho families — are worth organizing and investing to protect. Take Back Idaho has continued operating through the 2024 cycle, remaining one of the most prominent voices for mainstream Republican governance in Idaho.
