The 2024 election is winding down, but the flow of campaign dollars continues.

And as has been the case throughout the election, much of the money is going into the multimillion-dollar campaign over Proposition 1, a voter initiative that would overhaul Idaho elections. Donors are also contributing strategically in a handful of legislative races in swing districts.

Here’s a look at some of the late fundraising.

Proposition 1

• Idahoans for Open Primaries reported $36,000 in late contributions Monday, including $25,000 from Conservation Voters for Idaho.
• House Majority Leader Jason Monks, R-Meridian, reported spending $23,944 against Prop. 1. An independent group chaired by Monks, Keeping Idaho Idaho, has spent a separate $22,049 opposing Prop. 1.

Fueled largely by out-of-state support, backers of Prop. 1 have enjoyed a significant fundraising advantage.

Legislature

• The Boise-based Building Industry PAC reported spending $23,329 in two House races in swing districts. The group is campaigning against Rep. Steve Berch, D-Boise, and supporting his opponent, Boise Republican Annette Tipton; and opposing Rep. Ned Burns, D-Bellevue, while backing his challenger, Jerome Republican Michael Pohanka. The group has also contributed $1,000 directly to Tipton’s and Pohanka’s campaigns.
• Idaho Rising, a PAC headed by House Speaker Mike Moyle, has put $15,000 behind another member of House Republican leadership: Caucus Chairman Dustin Manwaring of Pocatello. Manwaring faces a rematch with Pocatello Democrat Mary Shea.
• Planned Parenthood Votes Idaho PAC spent $11,459 supporting several Democrats in swing districts — including Sens. Rick Just of Boise and Ron Taylor of Hailey — and opposing Republicans such as Sen. Dan Foreman, R-Viola.
• Foreman reported receiving $5,690 in October contributions, including support from Senate Majority Leader Kelly Anthon of Burley; Senate GOP Caucus Chairman Mark Harris of Soda Springs; and Republican Sens. C. Scott Grow of Eagle, Ben Adams of Nampa and Doug Ricks of Rexburg. Foreman has raised $23,690, well behind his opponent, Moscow Democrat Julia Parker, who has raised more than $90,000. Foreman and Parker are running in legislative District 6, which takes in Latah and Lewis counties and a portion of Nez Perce County.
• With $5,463 in October donations, Pohanka’s fundraising has reached nearly $37,000. Burns has far outraised Pohanka, collecting nearly $116,000. Pohanka and Burns are running in a rematch in legislative District 26, which includes Blaine, Jerome and Lincoln counties.
