Craig staffer moves on
Sid Smith, press secretary for Idaho Sen. Larry Craig, has been named the new executive director of the Idaho Republican Party. Smith has worked for Craig for six years. He replaces Jayson Ronk, who went to work for the Idaho Association of Commerce & Industry before Christmas; since then, the GOP position has been vacant. Smith said he’ll start his new job a week from tomorrow. Smith said he thought the position looked interesting. “Ultimately, with the senator being in his last year, I had to start thinking about the next step,” he said.
