01 / CORRUPTION
Expose wrongdoing.
We investigate credible allegations of corruption, conflicts of interest, self-dealing, misuse of authority, and conduct that may violate the public trust.
Independent Idaho Journalism
Idaho deserves the truth. No party. No office. No institution gets a pass.
Truth Idaho investigates credible allegations of corruption, conflicts of interest, hidden influence, favoritism, unfair practices, ethical misconduct, and abuses of public power — then brings what can be substantiated into the light.

Why Truth Idaho
Power should answer to the people.
Truth Idaho exists to examine what happens when political influence, private interests, secrecy, money, favoritism, or personal agendas intersect with public power. We ask who benefits, who made the decision, who influenced it, what the public was told — and what may have been left out.
What We Pursue
Shine the light where the public deserves answers.
02 / INFLUENCE
Find out who is pulling the strings.
We examine political money, lobbying, donors, contractors, organizations, personal relationships, and other sources of influence surrounding public decisions.
03 / FAIRNESS
Call out double standards.
We look closely at favoritism, selective enforcement, unfair processes, backroom maneuvering, and situations where insiders appear to receive treatment unavailable to ordinary Idahoans.
04 / TRANSPARENCY
Bring the information to Idahoans.
Our job is not simply to make accusations. It is to investigate, substantiate what we can, identify what remains disputed, and give citizens the information they need to understand what is happening.

Mark's Mission
I don't care which side it's on. If it's wrong, Idahoans should know.
Truth Idaho was built around a simple promise: no sacred cows. If a Republican abuses the public trust, we investigate it. If a Democrat does it, we investigate it. If an agency, lobbyist, contractor, donor, political insider, or powerful organization deserves scrutiny, we ask the questions. The loyalty is to the truth — and to the people of Idaho.
