Primary election is Tuesday On the ballot is the override levy for School District #242. See sample ballots below. Most of the contested races are on the Republican primary ballot. The only contested Idaho County race is for Idaho County Commissioner, District 1, where incumbent Skip Brandt is challenged by Ronald Nielsen. Both District 7 representative races are contested. Seat A incumbent Kyle Harris is challenged by Michael Collins. Seat B incumbent Charlie Shepherd is challenged by Maureen Anderson. Incumbent Cindy Carlson is unopposed for State Senate. The only statewide race that is contested on the Republican ballot is for Governor. Incumbent Brad Little is seeking another term and is facing challenges from Sean Calvert Crystal, Mark Fitzpatrick, Daniel C. Fowler, Ethan Giles, Ron James, Lisa Marie and Justin R. Plante. With that many challengers we figure the anti-Little vote will get split and Little will win nomination easily. For District 1 U.S. Representative, incumbent Russ Fulcher is facing 2 challengers: Andy Briner and Joseph P. Morrison. For U.S. Senate, incumbent Jim Risch is facing 3 challengers: Joe Evans, Danny LaVe and Josh Roy. On the Democratic ballot the only contested statewide race is for Governor. Maxine Durrand, Jill C.
