Governor Brad Little Announces Re-Election Bid
Idaho Governor Brad Little has officially declared his intention to run for a third term. The announcement was made on Tuesday, highlighting his commitment to maintaining Idaho’s prosperity and core values.
Focus on Prosperity and Freedom
Governor Little emphasized the state’s achievements under his leadership, stating that Idaho has become one of the most prosperous states in the nation. He attributed this success to a steadfast commitment to values such as faith, family, and freedom. Little assured citizens that efforts to reduce bureaucratic obstacles and expand personal freedoms would continue.
Campaign Financials and Support
As the election cycle progresses, Governor Little has already garnered approximately $1.5 million in campaign contributions, with expenditures nearing $300,000. This financial backing underscores the widespread support he enjoys across the state.
Little’s campaign is poised to formally launch following the conclusion of the legislative session. In the meantime, his campaign infrastructure, including a website and phone line, is already in place.
Historical Context and Endorsements
Should Governor Little secure a third term, he would join a select group of Idaho governors to achieve this milestone, becoming only the fourth in the state’s history and the third to do so consecutively. His candidacy has received a significant boost from former President Donald Trump, who endorsed Little on his social media platform, praising him as a strong and popular leader.
In response to this endorsement, Governor Little expressed gratitude for the support, particularly appreciating Trump’s backing of the values being promoted in Idaho.
Upcoming Election and Opponents
The upcoming election will see Governor Little on the ballot for the Republican primary scheduled for May 19. He will face competition from Republican Mark Fitzpatrick, independent John Stegner, and Democrat Terri Pickens, each vying for the governorship.
