YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIDAHO FALLS -- Former Idaho State Republican Chairman Steve Yates announced he's running for lieutenant governor at the Bonneville County Courthouse on Tuesday.
Yates, of Idaho Falls, also made appearances in Boise and Coeur d' Alene earlier in the day to formally announce his candidacy.
“This decision was not arrived at lightly," Yates said during his announcement. "It was after a lot of prayer, talk with family, friends, and the people of Idaho. I decided that it would be a good idea for me to bring the experience I’ve had with business and public service to the office of lieutenant governor."
Yates was elected GOP state chair in 2014 later and re-elected in 2016. He announced he was stepping down from his position as chair in April.
“For the last three years I had the honor of serving as chairman of the Idaho Republican Party," he said. "Idahoans took a chance on me and elected me chairman after our party fell apart, leaderless and divided. For the next two years we worked together to bring the state party back together and in 2016 we had one of the most successful conventions in Idaho history." (Read more at EastIdahoNews.com)
