“I’m driven by the independent-minded pursuit of practical solutions that rise above special interest and partisan politics.” --Keith Allred, December 13, 2009
In 2004, Keith Allred founded The Common Interest, a citizen's group of over 1,600 Idahoans—Republicans, Democrats, and independents—who have succeeded in putting common sense solutions ahead of special interest and partisan politics in the Idaho legislature. In announcing his run, Keith committed that when elected governor, he would govern as he has led The Common Interest.
The Common Interest does not endorse candidates, but Keith endorses The Common Interest as a way to govern on behalf of all citizens.
