To pay for mailing the “Rated & Vetted” card to voters, and to mail the People’s Pen, the KCRCC collects donations. They hold a fundraising event called the Lincoln Day Dinner annually in February.
Per Idaho’s Sunshine Law, donors are public. Many of them try to hide their identities behind company names. You can view Sunshine records yourself here.
