Idahoans for Open Primaries

Votes Idaho Company (EIN 46-5415188) is an Idaho 501(c)(4) whose FY2024 records report $295,353 in revenue, $458,433 in expenses, three employees, and Colin Nash as executive director. Its filed program description says it facilitated coordination among issue-advocacy groups, provided a platform for sharing resources, best practices and strategic insights, and organized regular meetings, conferences and webinars. Its reported FY2024 funders include Sixteen Thirty Fund ($163,000) and Western Futures Fund ($20,000), together accounting for $183,000; Western Futures’ 2023 grant list also reportedly includes $55,000 to Votes Idaho. The personnel map makes the Idaho institutional role clearer: current board chair Matt Compton is an Idaho Education Association political/associate executive director; current board member Mistie DelliCarpini-Tolman is Planned Parenthood Alliance Advocates’ Idaho state director; executive director Colin Nash is a Democratic former state legislator and Boise political officeholder; founding director Robin Nettinga formerly led the Idaho Education Association; and founding director Hannah Brass Greer became Boise Mayor Lauren McLean’s chief of staff in 2026. This verifies an Idaho advocacy hub joining labor, reproductive-rights advocacy, Democratic officeholders and Boise-government personnel, financed by national network funders. It does not establish that participated in the 2026 Hometown/Defend Republican-primary expenditures, controlled Idahoans for Open Primaries, or shared nonpublic candidate information with those PACs.
