About Political Action Committee for Education

Official Idaho Sunshine records show the terminated Stronger Idaho PAC raised $91,000 from only six donors in 2022: Idaho Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee ($25,000), Political Action Committee for Education / Idaho Education Association PAC ($25,000), Accountable Idaho ($12,000), Not Another Penny–Labor First ($10,000), Conservation Voters for Idaho Action Fund ($10,000), and Keep Ada Home ($9,000).

From Stronger Idaho pooled Democratic, education-union, labor and CVI money into Scrap Shop independent expenditures (2026-09-17). Recorded status: PRIMARY IDAHO SUNSHINE VERIFIED for 2022 donors, payments and listed chair/treasurer; 2024 common-chair reporting corroborated but amendment chronology needs direct filing verification.

Idaho Education Association retired-council minutes for 2023-24 report that the SWEA-R retired chapter used an IEA grant for $1,000 in 'Support for Reclaim Idaho.' Separately, in the 2024 election cycle, IEA's Political Action Committee for Education (PACE) contributed roughly $90,000 to Right 2 Learn, an Idaho PAC that spent heavily in Republican legislative primaries against private-school-choice supporters.
IEA has separate documented financial links to Reclaim and Republican-primary PAC activity · 2026-09-15
Recorded status: Verified separate money paths. Critical limitation preserved: no evidence of funds flowing from Reclaim through IEA/PACE into the Republican-primary PAC network.

Recorded status: PRIMARY IDAHO SUNSHINE VERIFIED for 2022 donors, payments and listed chair/treasurer; 2024 common-chair reporting corroborated but amendment chronology needs direct filing verification.

Official Idaho Sunshine records show the terminated Stronger Idaho PAC raised $91,000 from only six donors in 2022: Idaho Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee ($25,000), Political Action Committee for Education / Idaho Education Association PAC ($25,000), Accountable Idaho ($12,000), Not Another Penny–Labor First ($10,000), Conservation Voters for Idaho Action Fund ($10,000), and Keep Ada Home ($9,000). Stronger Idaho then reported at least $59,803.75 paid to The Scrap Shop under multiple vendor-name variants between September 29 and November 5, 2022: $6,000 management/payroll plus $53,803.75 for independent-expenditure ad preparation/broadcast. The PAC also made downstream transfers to Idaho Students First, Keep Ada Home, Conservation Voters for Idaho, IDLCC, education and labor PACs. Chair and treasurer were Eleanor “Elle” Casner; 2024 reporting identifies A.K. Leinhart-Minnick as chair of Stronger Idaho, Accountable Idaho and Idaho Liberty Defense, suggesting later common governance or a name/leadership transition that should be verified from amended C-1 filings. This establishes  as an independent-expenditure production node as well as a candidate-management vendor and shows its direct operational role for a pooled Democratic/union/CVI PAC. It does not establish any contract between  and Way Back, Western Futures, the 2026 Republican-primary PACs, or .
