Money in politics is not new to statewide and federal elections in Idaho. But what is unusual is the amount of money we’ve seen poured into Boise’s mayoral race from a variety of political action committees. After this week’s historic mayoral election leading to a runoff on December 3, Idaho Matters is taking a closer look at one of those groups -- Conservation Voters for Idaho -- which has endorsed and is supporting candidate Lauren McLean.
Correction: In the original version of this story we incorrectly quoted the amount of money CVI has spent on McLean's campaign. The group has spent $130,000 on the candidate.
