Sunnybrook Strategies links Veterans for Idaho Voters to a vendor orbit that includes Main Street-aligned Idaho candidates

Transparency USA’s 2024 Veterans for Idaho Voters committee page reports $35,000 in expenditures/payments to Sunnybrook Strategies LLC. V4IV was a formal Idahoans for Open Primaries coalition member alongside Reclaim Idaho and MWEG. Separate December 2025 Idaho political reporting identifies Sunnybrook Strategies as a campaign firm that had worked for multiple Main Street-aligned Republican candidates/elected officials including Greg Lanting, Josh Wheeler, Rod Furniss, Lori McCann and Stephanie Mickelsen. Lara Herway, founder of Sunnybrook Strategies, is independently documented as a political consultant/lobbyist and current executive director of Idaho Ground Water Appropriators. This creates a potentially important vendor crossline from the Open Primaries veterans organization into the same broad Idaho candidate orbit that included figures connected to Dixon/Main Street. However, the candidate-client roster beyond V4IV has not yet been fully reproduced from primary Sunshine transaction rows, so it remains secondary for those specific clients. Shared vendor use does not prove client coordination.
