Hope Coalition

For the 2024 Proposition 1 campaign, Luke Mayville served as a public spokesman for Idahoans for Open Primaries. Reclaim Idaho was a coalition member and made a $160,000 contribution to the campaign committee. Other formal coalition members included Mormon Women for Ethical Government, Veterans for Idaho Voters, Republicans for Open Primaries, North Idaho Women, and the Hope Coalition. This establishes an organizational and financial connection between Reclaim Idaho and the Proposition 1 coalition; it does not by itself establish control over other coalition organizations or shared upstream funding.

Unite America Institute’s primary 2023 Form 990 reveals a same-year concentration of grants to several national organizations that were directly involved in, affiliated with, or partnered around Idaho’s newly launched Open Primaries campaign. The filing reports: $500,000 to for veteran recruitment, calls-to-action/actions, and veteran coalition development; $450,000 to for a grassroots program for primary-reform activists, media/research, and long-term litigation; $250,000 to for general operating support and the American Democracy Summit; and $25,000 to for educational content on problems with the current election system and potential solutions. Total: $1.225 million. Idaho Capital Sun’s May 2, 2023 launch report identifies the new Idahoans for Open Primaries coalition as including the , , , , and Hope Coalition; formally joined and actively gathered signatures later in 2023. Open Primaries’ national site lists and IFO as Idaho state partners and later provided a senior VP declaration supporting IFO litigation. RepresentUs’ own 2024 campaign hub lists Idaho Proposition 1 among its campaign targets. Separately, ’s primary 2023 Schedule I shows a $500,000 grant to , after an $850,000 grant in 2022. These facts establish that was funding multiple organizations in the same election-reform ecosystem during the Idaho initiative’s launch year, while Hopewell was a significant funder. They DO NOT establish that Hopewell’s $500,000 was the source of any particular Unite grant, that any Unite Institute grant was earmarked for Idaho, or that the $1.225M was transferred to IFO/Reclaim.
