Most of the sitting District Judges filed for re-election last week. The only few who did not either announced their intent to retire or were exempt under I.C. 1-702 which outlines their recent appointments and exemption from this election.
Two sitting judges received opponents:
Judge Cody Brower will face Aaron Thompson in the Sixth District.
Judge Steven Boyce will face Randy Neal in the Seventh District.
There will be a four-way primary election in the Fourth District to fill Judge Norton’s seat. Vying are:
Jeffrey Street
David Morse
Greg Woodard
Michael Dean
There will also be a primary race for District 1, Shoshone A between:
Benjamin Allen
Lisa Cheseboro
Destry Randles is the only person to file for District 1, Kootenai A so she will win the seat.
You can find all of the filings on the Idaho Sec. of State website here:
