Rod Beck is one of three Ada County Commissioners and Hyrum Erickson is a republican Precinct Committeeman from Rexburg. Both agreed to come engage in a long format debate regarding Prop 1. Rod Beck was a main driving force that led to closed primaries in Idaho in 2011, and Hyrum Erickson is a republican that enjoys the republican majority in our state legislature but feels the structure of our elections is leading to a non representative legislative body. This is the only long format debate I am aware of on Prop 1. Enjoy!

The Ranch Podcast is the premier source for long format interviews and information in the Treasure Valley and great state of Idaho. The Boise area is home to many counties and ways of life. It’s also home to many law enforcement agencies, like Ada County and Canyon county Sheriff offices, Idaho State Police, Eagle Police Department, Meridian Police Department, and many more. The school systems in the area are also quite diverse. Boise school district and West Ada School District, though right next to each other, are quite different. Ada County is also home to our state capital and many of our elected officials. 

The Ranch Podcast is shot just north of Eagle, Idaho.
