This year, we at Idaho Public Television and debate organizers nationwide saw a number of candidates decline to participate in debates, or fail to respond to our invitations in the first place. As Federal Election Commission rules say we cannot hold a debate with just one candidate, we’re allowing those who did qualify a chance to sit down with Idaho Reports for one-on-one interviews in which they can answer questions much like those they would receive in a traditional debate.
Brandon Woolf, Republican incumbent Idaho Controller
Julie Ellsworth, Republican incumbent Idaho Treasurer
Phil McGrane, Republican candidate for Idaho Secretary of State
Kaylee Peterson, Democratic candidate for U.S. House, District 1
Wendy Norman, Democratic candidate for U.S. House, District 2
Stephen Heidt, Democratic candidate for Idaho Governor
Ammon Bundy, independent candidate for Idaho Governor
