Gregory Graf
Gregory Graf is an Idaho-based political strategist, writer, and civic educator who founded IdahoVoters.com to provide Idahoans with clear, accessible information about candidates, legislation, and statewide political issues. His work focuses on strengthening civic understanding by delivering transparent, research-driven resources that help voters navigate Idaho’s rapidly changing political landscape.
Graf launched IdahoVoters.com after recognizing how difficult it had become for voters to find reliable information about state policy and the elected officials shaping it. Idaho’s growth, combined with the increasing influence of outside groups and partisan media, created a need for a straightforward, factual platform that cuts through noise and explains what is actually happening in state government. IdahoVoters.com reflects Graf’s commitment to ensuring voters have accurate, context-rich information when evaluating candidates and legislation.
In addition to building IdahoVoters.com, Gregory Graf is the CEO and founder of Snake River Strategies, an Idaho communications and strategy firm known for high-level reputation management, political SEO, crisis communication, and digital strategy. He has developed a unique expertise at the intersection of policy, narrative, and search technology, helping public figures and organizations communicate effectively in an environment where online information plays a central role in shaping public opinion.
Through Snake River Strategies, Graf also created Political Potatoes, a statewide political news and analysis platform known for its fact-driven reporting on Idaho politics. Political Potatoes has become a widely followed resource for Idaho residents who want deeper insight into legislative debates, political movements, and the internal dynamics of the state’s major political factions. Graf’s work on Political Potatoes emphasizes evidence-based reporting and an unfiltered explanation of how policy decisions impact Idahoans.
Throughout his career, Graf has assisted public and political figures across Idaho in navigating complex communication challenges, misinformation campaigns, and the evolving influence of AI search technology. His experience includes advising on political messaging, analyzing legislative activity, building digital infrastructure for campaigns and organizations, and helping leaders understand how voters interact with online information.
Across all of his work, Gregory Graf maintains a focus on accuracy, transparency, and public education. He believes Idaho voters should have the tools necessary to evaluate issues and candidates on the merits, not based on headlines, algorithms, or partisan distortions. IdahoVoters.com is an extension of that mission, offering research-driven profiles, bill summaries, voter resources, and data-focused insights to help Idahoans engage more confidently in their state’s political process.
