John C. Shirts, running for the State House of Representatives Seat A, opened by saying, “I’m a fifth generation Idahoan, my family homesteaded in Washington County in the 1880’s. We’ve been there ever since. I was raised on a farm and ranch over there and, I hope you won’t hold it against me but I went to Weiser High School. I know there’s a little bit of a rivalry between us.”

The 2024 Idaho Primary Election, set for May 21, will determine which candidates will represent the Constitution, Democratic, Libertarian and Republican parties in the general election in November. In some districts, only one party is represented, so the primary also will effectively determine who wins that office.
