Votes Idaho founding board linked multiple Idaho advocacy sectors; Nettinga later supported Reclaim initiative litigation
Recorded status: Verified founding-board affiliations and Nettinga's Reclaim litigation participation. Identity of Hannah Brass-Grange with later Hannah Brass Greer is strongly supported by name/role records but use cautious wording if exact surname-transition proof is needed.
This is a dated research record. Its qualifications and open questions are part of the account. Association alone does not establish wrongdoing or control.
A 2014 Idaho new-corporation record for Votes Idaho Company lists John Reuter, Robin Nettinga, and Hannah Brass-Grange as directors, and Shelley Landry as filing party, incorporator, and registered agent. Contemporaneous/official records identify Reuter as then executive director of Conservation Voters for Idaho; Nettinga as executive director of the Idaho Education Association and a political treasurer for IEA-PACE; Hannah Brass as political treasurer of Planned Parenthood Votes Idaho PAC (later public legal records identify Hannah Brass Greer with Planned Parenthood); and Landry as a former Idaho Democratic Party coordinated-campaign director/interim executive director. Votes Idaho's later Form 990 program description explicitly says it facilitated coordination among issue-advocacy organizations, shared resources/best practices/strategic insights, and convened meetings. In Reclaim Idaho's 2021 Idaho Supreme Court challenge to SB1110, Robin Nettinga submitted a declaration; the Idaho Supreme Court held that Nettinga and other declarants had considerable personal knowledge and experience with Idaho's initiative/referendum process sufficient for their testimony. This places a Votes Idaho founding director and former IEA executive directly in Reclaim's initiative-rights litigation record, but does not establish organizational control or funding between Votes Idaho and Reclaim in 2021.
