Secure Elections Project's Idaho policy representative also holds a gubernatorial Judicial Council appointment and Republican precinct role
Recorded status: Official/current records verify Kreizenbeck's SEP Idaho policy role, Judicial Council membership and 2024 GOP precinct election. Little appointment is contemporaneously reported; no cross-role coordination or funder influence established.
This is a dated research record. Its qualifications and open questions are part of the account. Association alone does not establish wrongdoing or control.
Jason B. Kreizenbeck, identified by Secure Elections Project as its Idaho Legislative & Policy Team member through Lobby Idaho, also occupies multiple formal Idaho political/institutional roles. The Idaho Judicial Council's official bio says Kreizenbeck was appointed to the Council on July 1, 2023. The Council states that its non-attorney public members are appointed by the Governor and subject to Senate approval; current state records list Kreizenbeck as a council member and show his Public Member No. 4 term through July 1, 2026. Contemporaneous 2023 reporting identifies Gov. Brad Little as the governor who added Kreizenbeck to the Council. Ada County's official 2024 primary results separately show Kreizenbeck elected Republican precinct committeeman for precinct 1923 with 137 votes (72.87%). These roles are institutionally separate: the Judicial Council nominates judicial candidates to the Governor and handles judicial-discipline functions, while a precinct-committeeman position is a party role. Their significance for the current funding investigation is that the Idaho government-relations professional attached to a Sixteen Thirty/WFF-funded election-policy organization is also embedded in Idaho's formal political and judicial-selection institutions. This does NOT establish that Secure Elections Project, Sixteen Thirty Fund or Western Futures Fund influences Judicial Council work, Republican Party decisions, Gov. Little, judicial nominations or Idaho election policy through those roles; no such coordination or benefit has been demonstrated.
