- The Coeur d'Alene Press editorial board gave the KCRCC's rating and vetting system a "solid F" in April 2024, directly responding to KCRCC Chairman Brent Regan's April 19 column defending it.
- The editorial cited KCRCC-endorsed NIC trustees Banducci, McKenzie, and Waggoner for pushing the college toward accreditation loss and "fiscally reprehensible spending."
- CLN trustees Ottosen, Plass, and Hanley were cited for "collective belligerence" and "deep-rooted ignorance" in their library duties.
- County Assessor Bela Kovacs was cited for alienating employees, taxpayers, and fellow Republicans.
- The KCRCC voted 151-0 against Christie Wood, Dan Gookin, and Dan English in November 2023 — all three won easily against KCRCC-backed opponents.

- Despite public claims of not supporting Dave Reilly, the KCRCC selected him as a delegate to the Idaho Republican Party's July 2022 state convention in Twin Falls.
- Guest opinion authors Sandy Patano and Jack Riggs documented that the KCRCC was effectively paying Reilly through delegate expenses while claiming to distance itself from him.
- Brent Regan's claim that the KCRCC did not "support" Reilly was contradicted by his selection as an official party delegate.
