The Matthew Dark Show-Denny LaVe Candidate for US Senate in Idaho

 Denny LaVe, a Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Idaho, running in the May 19, 2026 primary. Denny’s story is built on hard-earned experience: he grew up in poverty, survived abuse, worked his way up as a union ironworker, and founded a construction company that’s made the Inc. 5000 list five times. His campaign is a true grassroots effort, skipping the usual playbook and connecting directly through podcasts and community engagement. Denny’s brand is "The New Lion of Idaho," directly challenging the deeply entrenched incumbent.He recently published "Blue-Collar Blessed: A Humble Life in Idaho" (Skyhorse Publishing, Nov 2025), a candid memoir about faith, family, adversity, and the American Dream.
