BOISE, Idaho — Gov. Brad Little announced his re-election bid Tuesday, filing with the Idaho Secretary of State for the May 19 Republican primary.
“Teresa and I are honored to serve the people of Idaho,” Little said. “Together, we’ve made Idaho the most prosperous state in the nation while fiercely defending our enduring core values – faith, family, and freedom.”
Little highlighted his record on tax relief, education funding and infrastructure improvements. His campaign has raised nearly $1.5 million from all 44 Idaho counties after setting a gubernatorial fundraising record in 2022.
“I am especially grateful for the endorsement of President Donald Trump, and I appreciate his support for the commonsense values we are advancing here in Idaho,” Little said.
Little will formally launch his campaign after the legislative session ends. He faces challenges addressing housing costs and infrastructure strain from Idaho’s rapid growth.
The Republican primary is May 19, with the general election in November.
