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!
