Evening Conversation: A Salon with Justice Jim Jones

Evening Conversation: A Salon with Justice Jim Jones

"Idaho's closed primary encourages extremism."

Justice Jim Jones believes that every Idaho voter should feel comfortable voting for the party ticket he or she prefers in the primary election. After all, that is where the ultimate winner of office is selected in most areas of this one-party state. Democrats and independents can vote in the Republican Party primary, but only if they register as a Republican. Until Idaho restores an open primary system, all voters should feel free to vote in the party primary of their choice. Join Justice Jones for a discussion about this topic on Tuesday, February 22, 2022 from 6:30 - 8:00 p.m.

Jim Jones served as Idaho attorney general for eight years (1983-1991) and as a justice of the Idaho Supreme Court for 12 years (2005-2017).
