About Jennifer Ellis

Jennifer Ellis is documented as chair/president of Take Back Idaho and a former president of the Idaho Cattle Association. In 2024 she publicly advocated for Proposition 1 and was identified as a supporter of Idahoans for Open Primaries. On August 20, 2026 Take Back Idaho announced that Ellis had signed on as the Idaho representative of the Forward Party Victory Fund, a newly formed federal super PAC supporting independent candidates, including Idaho U.S. Senate candidate Todd Achilles. This establishes durable cross-cycle personnel continuity from Idaho agricultural leadership to Take Back Idaho, the 2024 Open Primaries reform effort and a 2026 national independent-candidate PAC. Idaho Cattle Association is distinct from Idaho Dairymen's Association; no dairy/CCI organizational connection is inferred from Ellis's cattle-industry role.

Research finding · 2026-09-17Original January 2022 filing identifies Esto Perpetua Group's first known Idaho work as broadcast advertising and postage

Recorded status: Verified in original Idaho campaign-finance filing; ownership/operator unresolved

Take Back Idaho PAC's original January 2022 C-2 (report 46280) lists two same-day payments to Esto Perpetua Group LLC on January 31, 2022: $790 under purpose code B (broadcast advertising) and $1,507.90 under purpose code P (postage), total $2,297.90. The recipient address is the Wyoming registered-agent address, 30 N Gould St., Ste R, Sheridan, WY 82801. The report identifies Jennifer Ellis as committee chair and David High as treasurer; High signed it February 10, 2022, the due date. This filing predates the later $5,500 management-coded payments and is the strongest current lead for identity-bearing records such as an ad order, station invoice, mail invoice, check image, contract, or W-9. It does not identify the LLC's owner or operator, and it does not establish a connection to Risch Pisca, Jason Risch, Jeremy Pisca, or Senator Jim Risch.
