Mac Raslan: Idaho Republican Candidate for State Senate District 14

Mac Raslan is a Republican candidate challenging five-term incumbent C. Scott Grow in the May 19, 2026, Republican primary for Idaho State Senate District 14. The district covers Gem County and the Eagle area of northern Ada County. Raslan lives in Sweet, a small community in Gem County, and has no prior legislative experience.

Background

Mac Raslan was born in Ottawa, Canada, and moved to Campbell, California, at age eight. He later relocated to Idaho and settled in Sweet, in Gem County. His professional background is in HVAC. Before starting his own business, he worked as a technician in commercial and residential HVAC. He is the owner and operator of Mac Attack HVAC, based in Sweet and serving the Greater Treasure Valley area, as described on his IDGOP candidate profile. No military service or formal higher education beyond HVAC training has been documented in publicly available sources.

Political Career

Raslan has not held elected office. In 2024, he ran in the Republican primary against appointed Gem County Commissioner Kirk Wille for the District 1 seat. According to the Idaho Press, Wille defeated Raslan 1,859 to 1,217. His 2026 Senate campaign is his second run for public office.

Policy Positions

Raslan’s documented positions draw from his 2024 IDGOP candidate profile, which was submitted during his county commissioner run and remains the primary source for his stated views.

On property taxes, he has stated that assessments should not occur until a home is sold and that the tax burden should be lifted or reduced for longtime homeowners. On elections, his IDGOP profile states that mail-in voting “was to our own demise for honest elections” and calls for a return to in-person, paper, hand-counted ballots. On education, he has said the federal government should be removed from the education system entirely. On abortion, his 2026 candidate profile states: “I shouldn’t commit murder and neither should ‘healthcare.'” On the role of government broadly, his 2024 campaign website framed the purpose of local government as defending “God given rights” and described the United States as “a Constitutional Republic, not a democracy.”

As of April 2026, Raslan has not made documented public statements on agricultural policy, public lands, or immigration beyond his general limited-government framing.

Political Alignment

Raslan appears aligned with the Conservative Activist tier of Idaho Republican politics. His campaign framing positions him explicitly to the right of the incumbent, stating he is running to give voters a chance to support “a true Conservative Republican” — language that implies existing Republican representation falls short. His documented positions on elections, abortion, federal education policy, and the constitutional role of government reflect themes consistently associated with Idaho’s conservative activist layer. His IDGOP profile commentary on the party platform goes beyond routine acknowledgment; he annotates individual planks with his own disagreements and additions, a practice consistent with candidates who treat the platform as an active governing document rather than a formality. Taken together, these indicators support a Conservative Activist classification, though no organizational endorsements had been publicly reported as of this profile’s publication date.

Campaign and Endorsements

Raslan’s 2024 Gem County commissioner campaign drew letters of community support published in the Idaho Press. Campaign finance records for his 2026 Senate run are available through the Idaho Secretary of State’s Sunshine database. As of April 2026, no organizational endorsements for his 2026 Senate campaign have been reported in available sources.
