Boise-area voters: See who’s running in November 2024 election in Ada and Canyon counties
By David Staats,
16 hours ago
In two months, voters across Ada and Canyon counties will choose whom to elect or re-elect in races from the presidency all the way down to supervisor of the local soil and water conservation district .
You’ll have multiple decisions to make whether you’re a Republican, Democrat, independent or something else; whether you live in Boise or Nampa, Meridian or Caldwell, Eagle or Star, Kuna or Garden City, or a smaller community; and whether you vote by mail or in person at a polling place.
Friday was the final filing deadline under Idaho law for candidates to appear on the Nov. 5 general-election ballot. Here’s who is running for Congress, the Legislature, and other state, county and other local offices representing the Treasure Valley.
Note:
A single name under an office means the candidate is unopposed.
State legislators are elected for two-year terms. All other terms are four years unless otherwise specified.
A candidate’s political party is listed only in partisan races.
If a candidate is the incumbent, that fact is not on the ballot but is included here, except in judicial retention elections, where all the candidates are incumbents.

Under the 2021 reapportionment based on the 2020 census, Idaho’s 1st Congressional District stretches from the Nevada border to the Canadian border in the western half of the state. The 2nd District covers the eastern parts of the state and reaches west to Eagle Road in Ada County to include most of Boise. Idaho Commission for Reapportionment To achieve equality in the two congressional districts’ populations, “Ada County, the state’s most populous county, must be split,” the Idaho Commission for Reapportionment wrote in its final report in 2021. “This conforms to how the state has divided its congressional districts since 1971, and the commission also finds that maintaining the traditional division of Ada County would be less disruptive and confusing to voters than the creation of entirely new districts.” Idaho Commission for Reapportionment
