Political scientists Jaclyn Kettler and Justin Vaughn, as well as professor emeritus Gary Moncrief, were extensively quoted in a governing piece on Lt. Gov. Brad Little and the recent Idaho gubernatorial primaries.
”’Not Pure Enough’: An Ultra-Conservative State Nominates a Pragmatist for Governor” examined the results of the recent primary and discusses why Little won the Republican nomination.

“A lot of people in the state think they’re doing pretty well,” said Kettler. “Little symbolizes a continuation of what they’ve had.”
