Idaho Governor Race Results
Nearly half of the early returns came from Ada County when the reported vote share was released. The Cook Political Report rated the Idaho governor’s race “solid R,” one of seven races nationwide it placed in that category.
Little had more than $1 million in campaign funds as of Oct. 30.

Incumbents swept Idaho’s statewide offices. The winners listed were Little, Scott Bedke, Phil McGrane, Brandon Woolf, Julie Ellsworth, Raul Labrador and Debbie Critchfield.
Critchfield won reelection as superintendent of public instruction. At her election night event, Critchfield said, “I want to represent the entire education community.”
