Kirsten Faith Richardson is the Constitution Party nominee for Idaho Senate District 14. Her name appears on the November 3, 2026 general election ballot against Republican incumbent C. Scott Grow, according to the Idaho Capital Sun roundup of November's contenders. Grow is the Senate Finance chairman and a co-chair of the Joint Finance-Appropriations Committee. Richardson had no primary contest.

The rematch history

This is the third straight general election between Richardson and Grow. The Idaho Secretary of State's elections database records both prior results.

In 2022, Grow won with 18,502 votes, or 81.2 percent. Richardson received 1,934 votes, or 8.5 percent. Libertarian Robert Imhoff also appeared on that ballot and took 10.3 percent.

In 2024, Grow won with 26,212 votes, or 84.9 percent. Richardson received 4,677 votes, or 15.1 percent. That race had two candidates.

Background

Richardson's campaign site, which she shares with her husband, describes Senate District 14 as covering Gem County and the city of Eagle. The site states the 2026 race is her 10th time running for the Idaho Legislature.

The Secretary of State's database confirms a long candidacy history. She has run in 13 contests for the Idaho Legislature, winning three unopposed Constitution Party primaries and losing all 10 general elections she has entered.

Her husband, whose legal name is Pro-Life, is the Constitution Party's 2026 nominee for Idaho Governor. That fact is confirmed independently by the Idaho Capital Sun's candidate roundup, which lists Pro-Life among the four candidates challenging Governor Brad Little.

Richardson did not respond to the CBS2/FOX9 2026 general election candidate survey for State Senate District 14. IdahoNews.com reports that every candidate in the race was sent the same questions and given a week to respond, and that her name appears with the note that she did not respond in time. Grow did respond. His survey answers list his top district priorities as immigration reform, the tax burden, wildfires, and education.
