Jordan Redman is a Republican member of the Idaho House of Representatives representing District 3 Seat B, which covers Coeur d'Alene, Hayden, and portions of Kootenai County in North Idaho. Redman was first elected in 2022 and is running for re-election in the May 19, 2026 Republican primary. The general election is November 3, 2026.

Background

Redman, 40, was born in September 1985 and is a lifelong resident of the Coeur d'Alene / Hayden area. He was homeschooled and dually enrolled at North Idaho College, played sports at Timberlake High School in Spirit Lake, and attended Whitworth College and the University of Idaho, as described on his campaign biography. He began his insurance career in 2005 and purchased his parents' agency, Redman & Company Insurance, around 2012. He has been involved in real estate and land development since 2018 and purchased several local pharmacies in 2021, including Medicine Man Prairie Pharmacy in Hayden. He has been married to his wife Amy for 20 years and they have six children. He chairs 208 Ministries and serves on the board of Reach America.

Political Career

Redman first won the District 3B seat in 2022, defeating Rick Small 83.2 percent to 16.8 percent in the Republican primary, and was re-elected unopposed in the 2024 Republican primary, as documented by Ballotpedia. His father Eric Redman is a former Idaho state representative. Redman's committee assignments include Vice Chair of the Business Committee; Health & Welfare; Environment, Energy & Technology; Ethics & House Policy; and Co-Chair of the Joint Legislative Oversight Committee, the Joint Millennium Fund Committee, and the Rural Health Transformation Program Task Force.

Policy Positions

Redman centers his platform on parental rights, opposition to vaccine mandates, free speech "without censorship," school choice (he notes his own homeschooled children), Second Amendment protections, pro-life advocacy, and transferring federal public lands to state control. He has signed the U.S. Term Limits pledge. His campaign slogan is "FAITH. FAMILY. FREEDOM." As a pharmacy owner he has advocated for independent pharmacies on audit and reimbursement legislation, and the Idaho Freedom Foundation has highlighted his sponsorship of legislation to modernize Idaho's midwifery laws and to streamline professional licensing under House Bill 328. Verbatim from his campaign site: "We are born-again believers in Jesus Christ and strive to be led by the Lord in all areas of our lives... We want to see Idaho remain a free, prosperous and Conservative state."

Political Alignment

Redman is Idaho Freedom Foundation-aligned. The Idaho Freedom Foundation Freedom Index has scored Redman in the mid-70s across recent cycles (approximately 75 to 78 percent). The Idaho Statesman has described Redman as having "carved out a place in the far right of the party." In 2026, Idaho EdNews reported that Redman personally seeded a new political action committee called 36-18-1 Inc. with approximately $250,000, and the PAC has spent approximately $200,000 in independent expenditures supporting 20 Republican legislative candidates statewide. The PAC's name references the votes needed in the Idaho House, Senate, and Governor's office to pass legislation. Redman's father Eric Redman serves as treasurer of the PAC. Responding to coverage of the PAC, Redman said: "Cast the votes that reflect the Republican platform, and my checkbook stays closed."

Campaign and Endorsements

Independent expenditure filings on the Idaho Sunshine portal show approximately $1,190 in 2026 support for Redman's own re-election campaign from the Kootenai County Republican Central Committee, primarily for sample-ballot mailers. Most of the IE activity tied to Redman in 2026 is outbound: the 36-18-1 Inc. PAC he funded is supporting other Republican candidates rather than Redman's own race. Recipients of 36-18-1 Inc. independent expenditures include Julianne Young (approximately $16,848 against Rep. Ben Fuhriman), Scott Herndon, Colton Bennett, Rep. Chris Bruce, Rep. Tanya Burgoyne, Chad Christensen, and Rep. Barbara Ehardt, among 20 total candidates.
