Smylie urges GOP rebuild at Iowa barbecue
Idaho Governor Robert Smylie told Polk County Republicans that rebuilding the party must start locally rather than nationally. Speaking to about 1,000 attendees at the state fairgrounds barbecue, he urged analysis of past failures and emphasized strengthening state governments, expanding urban vote, studying suburbs, and reestablishing influence in academia while offering constructive alternatives to the ruling party. He cited Eisenhower Nixon and others as models, and noted labor and business power as issues to address. Smylie was introduced by Senator Jack Miller and greeted with the city’s welcome before departing for talks with state Republicans.
