Kirsten Richardson: Idaho Constitution Party Candidate for Senate

District 14

Kirsten Faith Richardson is a Constitution Party candidate running for Idaho Senate District 14 in the November 2026 general election. Richardson, 69, is a Letha, Idaho resident, a mother of eight and grandmother of 26, and a pro-life activist affiliated with ProLife Idaho. She is a ten-time candidate for Idaho state legislative office, running repeatedly for seats across multiple districts over many years, consistently funding her campaigns with only the $30 filing fee. Her 2026 Senate District 14 candidacy adds a third option to a race that includes Republican incumbent C. Scott Grow and Republican challenger Mac Raslan, giving Constitution Party-aligned voters a choice on the November ballot.

Ten-Time Legislative Candidate

Richardson’s ten-time candidacy record across Idaho legislative races is exceptional in state politics, reflecting an unusual combination of persistent civic engagement and a principled commitment to third-party politics. She has previously run for Senate District 14 in 2024 (losing to incumbent C. Scott Grow) and 2022, as well as earlier campaigns in Districts 8 and 11 and other seats. Her campaigns have been funded entirely by the $30 filing fee required to appear on the Idaho ballot, she has declined to raise or spend additional campaign funds, making her candidacy a form of principled, low-cost civic participation rather than a conventional electoral campaign.

ProLife Idaho and Activism

Richardson is affiliated with ProLife Idaho, an anti-abortion advocacy organization that has been a significant presence in Idaho politics. She describes her political commitments as rooted in pro-life principles and Constitution Party values, a platform that emphasizes natural law, limited government, and Christian principles as foundational to American governance. The Constitution Party in Idaho typically draws voters who view both the Republican and Democratic parties as having departed from constitutional principles, appealing to a small but consistent segment of the electorate in conservative districts.

District 14 and the 2026 Race Senate District 14 covers Eagle and surrounding northwest Ada County communities, one of the fastest-growing areas in Idaho. Republican incumbent C. Scott Grow, a retired CPA appointed to the Senate by Governor Otter in 2018, faces a primary challenge from Mac Raslan, owner of Mac Attack HVAC in Sweet. Richardson’s Constitution Party candidacy ensures that voters in the general election will have a third option beyond the Republican nominee and any potential Democratic challenger.
