Idahoans Invited to Meet State Officials in Franklin County
Idaho Governor Brad Little is taking his “Capital for a Day” event to the southeastern town of Preston on Friday, offering residents an opportunity to directly engage with state leadership. The event will be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Worm Creek Opera House, located at 70 S. State Street.
This traveling forum allows Idahoans to voice concerns, ask questions, and discuss local issues with the governor and several top officials from across state agencies.
Full List of Attending State Officials
Several high-ranking members of Governor Little’s administration will join him in Preston, including:
- Lt. Governor Scott Bedke
- State Controller Brandon Woolf
- Agriculture Director Chanel Tewalt
- Parks and Recreation Director Susan Buxton
- Insurance Director Dean Cameron
- Transportation Deputy Director Dan McElhinney
- Lands Deputy Director Michele Andersen

Direct Dialogue with Idaho’s Leadership
“This event will give the good people of Franklin County a chance to discuss what’s on their minds when it comes to good government and how we can better serve them,” Gov. Little said in a press release.
The “Capital for a Day” initiative reflects the administration’s commitment to maintaining transparency and accessibility by bringing state government directly to Idaho communities. Recent stops have included Oakley, Orofino, and Shelley.
Why It Matters
In an era where many citizens feel disconnected from state-level decision-making, this initiative provides rural residents with direct access to the officials who shape Idaho policy. From water rights to agricultural concerns, attendees are encouraged to speak candidly with those in charge of the state’s most critical departments.
