The office of Lieutenant Governor is a statewide elected position mandated by the Idaho State Constitution. The office holder serves a four-year term. Among other responsibilities, the Lt. Governor presides over the Idaho State Senate. In addition, this member of the Executive Branch serves as Governor when the serving Governor travels outside of the state. Moreover, the Lieutenant Governor acts as the Governor’s chief appointment officer. As appointment officer, the Lt Governor evaluates candidates for various boards, commissions and councils. Currently, Republican Brad Little holds the office of Lt Governor. However, he is vacating this position to run for Idaho State Governor. There are two Democrats and five Republicans who declared themselves as Primary Candidates. The winners of the Democrat and Republican Primaries will compete in the fall to fill this position. The Primary Election is Tuesday, May 15.
