District 1
Republican Raúl Labrador has represented Idaho's 1st congressional district since 2011. Labrador won election to a second term in 2012, defeating former NFL player Jimmy Farris with 63% of the vote.
Labrador was rumored to be considering a run for governor in 2014, but has announced he will run for re-election instead.
Reed McCandless, who received 19% in the 2012 Republican primary, is challenging Labrador again. Also running in the Republican primary are Rathdrum resident Sean Blackwell, Boise resident Lisa Marie, and Eagle resident Michael Greenway.
Although Farris initially expressed interest in a rematch against Labrador, in July 2013 he told the Idaho Statesman he was leaning towards a run for a Boise-based seat in the Idaho Legislature instead.
In August 2013, State Representative Shirley Ringo of Moscow announced she is running for the Democratic nomination. Hayden resident Ryan Barone also ran in the Democratic primary.
