IPF endorsed Lori McCann while her 2026 immigration votes diverged from Idaho GOP E-Verify policy

A concrete issue-level alignment case appears in Idaho Prosperity Fund's 2026 support for Lori McCann. Contemporary reporting identifies McCann as an IPF-endorsed candidate in the District 6 Senate primary. Separately, Idaho Capital Sun reports that, while serving in the House, McCann voted against HB 700 (prohibiting unlawful employment of unauthorized workers) and HB 704 (mandatory E-Verify). The Idaho Republican State Central Committee's accepted 2025 Resolution 2025-44 had called for comprehensive legislation requiring all Idaho employers to use E-Verify for all new hires, making McCann's HB 704 vote directly divergent from that stated party policy. This does not establish that IACI/IPF selected McCann because of immigration policy, nor does it establish bad faith or deceptive party affiliation. It does establish the exact type of pattern the alignment audit is designed to identify: a business-affiliated PAC endorsed a Republican candidate whose concrete vote on a major employment/immigration issue differed from the party organization's stated position. The next step is to identify IPF/IACI's own position on HB 700/HB 704 and whether member industries materially benefited from defeating or modifying those bills.
