Idaho is located in the Western region of the USA with Boise as its capital.  Brad Little (R) is Governor.

The Idaho legislature has 35 Senate members and 70 House members.

The US onAir Network will be working with volunteers from Idaho universities, colleges, and nonprofit organizations to oversee the curation and moderation of posts, aircasts (online discussions), and in person events for the Idaho onAir Hub …  related to federal, state, and local elections and government.

Our first outreach will be to University of Idaho partly because of its proximity to the state capital. We have identified many of University of Idaho’s civic engagement, academic, internship and research programs related to making democracy and civic responsibility a focus of higher learning on their campus … for students, faculty, staff, and local community. This post, over time, will have similar information on other collaborating organizations in the state.

Contact ben.murphy@onair.cc for more information on how to involve your organization.
