Thank you to every Idahoan who voted for me and thank you to my beautiful wife, @PlanteRobi42433, for all the hard work and hours you put into this campaign. I ran with zero name recognition, no big donors, never begged for a single donation, no online presence before this race, and while working 12-hour shifts. You all chose substance over slogans. You chose one of your own over the typical rich politician. You proved there are those hungry for something real and authentic. I’m truly grateful beyond words. To every regular working person out there: If you’re tired of the same old game, step up and run for office. You don’t need fame, fortune, or fancy connections. Ordinary Idahoans like you have everything it takes to make an extraordinary difference. Be courageous and just go for it! While this was the one and only time I will ever run for office, this isn’t the end. It is only the beginning. Together we will bring Power back to the People. Stay tuned.

When Republicans, Democrats, socialists, progressive activists, true conservatives, pagans, witches, Satanists, journalists, opposition trackers, LDS members, ect all team up on the same side......it’s not a kumbaya moment. It’s because one aggressive faction has become such a toxic, divisive wrecking ball hijacking the party, pushing extremes, and creating nonstop chaos that it’s forcing every other group into an unnatural coalition just to stop the damage.

It's pathetic how many of you anti-establishment types fall for the hook, line, and sinker of the next wannabe politician. If you are satisfied with false promises coming from a forked tongue good for you. My husband's not a politician but he had a comprehensive repair manual consisting of well thought out policies that would have made a difference immediately. Actionable policy is far more important than manipulating the masses with pretty words. Besides not everybody likes being in front of the camera. There is nothing wrong with actually wanting to fix things instead of preening like a peacock hoping the news will notice you.

My wife sure has a way with words. Ouch! 🤣

Fitzpatrick had no business running for governor. What on God's green earth would make you think that my husband would ever turn his voters to a candidate that exists just to help the establishment? 🤣 An extremely controversial, California transplant political activist who thinks the Earth is flat and LDS is not Christian was all that the establishment needed to retain power and crush descent. He was the perfect establishment puppet.

I don't agree.

Well, I appreciate you, anyways. Thanks to you and @Idahoansfirst for throwing your hats in the ring.

Well said.

Anyone have his campaign's memorial service details? I need to know when/where to drop off the funeral potatoes.

Well there it is. Idahoans you must assimilate to the new Idaho Republic of California. Choose wisely when you vote tomorrow. It's never too late to make a better decision. This is exactly what they did to Colorado in the 90s.

All bro had to do was say, "I'm sorry for my ill-timed comment. I should have kept my mouth shut during your moment of grief. That was really insensitive of me." I would have backed off. His refusal to do so speaks volumes.

Mark Fitzpatrick supporter in the wild. I don't agree with everything @GovernorLittle says but he was 100% accurate when he stated that some of Fitzpatrick supporters are racist. Exhibit 1026A

I offer a real plan. All the details can be found at idahoansfirst.com/theplan Click on any of the blue headers to see more details including Q&As. I'm just a regular person and wanted to offer something that we never get from the politicians. I answered how I'm going to accomplish my goals to improve the lives of ALL Idahoans. I'm not rich. I'm not a politician. I am a blue collar worker. I am just one of you. I will govern for the people because I am one of the people. For once, let's send in one of our own.

It is a bit bizarre, especially in this day and age, for someone to believe the Earth is flat but I don't think this is the most concerning thing for his campaign. You do not post the following the day after such a tragic attack on an LDS Church and then think it's a good idea to run for governor of Idaho. That's not tone deaf, it's disrespectful to the residents of the state you moved to. "Dear @realDonaldTrump, Mormons aren’t Christian. Stop saying otherwise." (September 29, 2025; widely cited as controversial in LDS-heavy Idaho) x.com/oldstatemark/status/19… "Bible says repeatedly Earth is flat, non-moving, and has a firmament vault that God built above it on Day 2 of creation. It's time to lose the satanic globe." (April 29, 2023) x.com/oldstatemark/status/16… "Just a minimal amount of biblical research would yield many results. Flat. Non moving. Built on foundations. Firmament. Face of the earth. Earth the broad plain, etc etc etc. do your own research." (January 14, 2024) x.com/oldstatemark/status/17…

Are We a Christian Nation? Recently, one of our gubernatorial candidates declared that America is a “Christian Nation.” Then, on September 28, after a gruesome attack on a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints congregation in Grand Blanc, Michigan — an attack that killed four worshippers, injured eight others, and left children scarred for life — he followed it with an X post saying, “They aren’t Christian.” Authorities reported the gunman rammed a truck into the church, opened fire during Sunday worship, and set the building ablaze. I know how the dehumanization process works. I was a soldier. I was trained to identify an enemy, to separate “us” from “them,” and to understand how people are taught to hate before they are taught to kill. Before violence comes permission. Before permission comes othering. Before othering comes the language that says those people are not really like us, not really one of us, not really worthy of the same sympathy, dignity, or protection. That is why this matters. To say America is a “Christian Nation,” and then use the aftermath of a church massacre to declare that your wounded, grieving neighbors “aren’t Christian,” is not a statement of faith. It is a declaration of exclusion. It is a political use of Christianity that forgets the command to love your neighbor, mourn with those who mourn, and protect the innocent. I am not here to settle theological disputes between denominations. That is not the job of government, and it is not the purpose of the American republic. The moment politicians start deciding which believers count as “real Christians,” they are no longer defending Christianity. They are weaponizing it. America is not a theocracy. The United States is a constitutional republic. It is a creedal nation built on the principles of life, liberty, property, the pursuit of happiness, equal justice under law, and the God-given rights of every person. Our Constitution does not require every citizen to share the same church. It requires government to protect the right of every citizen to worship freely, speak freely, live freely, and be treated equally under the law. That is the genius of America. A Christian can believe this nation was deeply shaped by Christian moral tradition. I do. A Christian can believe our rights come from God, not government. I do. A Christian can believe faith belongs in the public square. I do. But no Christian should look at children watching their parents bleed in a sanctuary and decide the urgent thing to say is, “They aren’t Christian.” That is not leadership. That is not Idaho. And it is not the kind of spirit I want anywhere near the governor’s office, the U.S. Senate, or any position of public trust. If we are going to speak of Christian government, then start with Christian conduct: mercy, humility, courage, truth, protection of the innocent, and love of neighbor. Because a nation is not made Christian by slogans. It is judged by how it treats the wounded, the grieving, the stranger, the widow, the orphan, and the neighbor whose doctrine may differ from our own. America is a constitutional republic. And the job of every public servant is not to decide which Americans count. It is to defend the rights, dignity, and liberty of them all.

I am running for Governor of Idaho, not theologian in chief. I hold myself to a higher standard, the one in the U.S. and Idaho Constitutions that guarantees every citizen the right to worship or not worship as they see fit, without government interference or political litmus tests. Idahoans of all faiths deserve a governor who respects that freedom without judgement.

In September of 2025, a lone gunman with a truck full of IEDs drove into an LDS Church in Grand Blanc, Michigan. While children were still grieving the loss of parents and met with the reality that people in America hate them so much that they would kill them in their Church on the Sabbath, while a nation grieved this loss of innocence, and the members of that church were contributing to the $300k raised for the family of the gunman, a CA expat had nothing more to say than "They aren't Christian." Sorry, if your first thought following an attack on those practicing their faith, in church, on a Sunday, while children watch their parents bleed out is, "They aren't Christian." You and the people who endorse you are not the kind of people I want leading Idaho or representing it. "But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea." Matthew 18:6

He's right. I am none of those things. I'm a TRUE Conservative and a simple blue collar Idahoan. I'm also not a Biden wannabe either.

This is the kind of rhetoric transplants have brought here. Attacking the faith of nearly 500,000 multi-generational Idaho LDS families who built this state alongside every other hardworking Idahoan. When he loses on Tuesday, expect the “stolen election,” “establishment,” and “rigged” claims to start immediately. Don’t fall for it. You cannot alienate that many Idahoans and expect to win the governorship. Idahoans chose leaders who respect our shared values, our faith communities, and put Idahoans First not imported culture wars. We don’t need drama that drags Idaho’s good name through the mud.
