Shoshone County Candidate Profile: Issac McGillivray (R) PC Osburn

Full Name: Isaac McGillivray 

Age: 24 

Political Affiliation: Republican 

Precinct: Osburn 

What do you see as the primary responsibilities of a precinct committeeman, and why are you interested in serving in this position? 

The primary responsibilities are finding people who would best represent the Idaho Republican Party Platform and put Shoshone County first in all their decisions to run for public office within the county, followed by garnering support for those candidates. I also believe that being a Precinct Committeeman for the Republican Central Committee means being the best representative for the Republicans within your precinct and working to better not only your represented precinct, but the Valley/County as a whole. 

The main reason I am interested in the position is my wife and I recently had our first child so I want to make sure our gem of a town and our amazing county continues down the right path and do my part in making it a little better. 

How would you work to engage voters, support party organization, and represent your precinct’s concerns at the county or district level? 

First and foremost, I will help keep the people well-informed, keeping them up to date on important events, meetings, elections, etc. and encouraging them to attend and participate. I will be talking to people, listening to their concerns, and carrying them over to meetings and official discussions. I know politics can be confusing and even nasty at times, so I want to try my best to bring clarity and civility back in our politics, which I believe will not just engage voters, but it will help people want to become more involved in the Idaho Republican Party.
