Mac Raslan

Mac Raslan: Idaho Republican Candidate for State Senate District 14

Mac Raslan is a Republican candidate challenging 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, Idaho, 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, a small community in Gem County. His professional background is in HVAC. Before starting his own business, he worked as a technician in commercial and residential HVAC and held a position as a chief engineer managing large multi-million dollar building projects. He is the owner and operator of Mac Attack HVAC, based in Sweet and serving the Greater Treasure Valley area. 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. His first campaign was a 2024 Republican primary challenge against appointed Gem County Commissioner Kirk Wille for the District 1 seat. He did not win that race. His 2026 Senate campaign is his second run for public office.

Policy Positions

Raslan’s documented positions draw from his 2024 county commissioner campaign materials and his 2026 IDGOP candidate profile.

On property taxes, he has stated that assessments should not occur until a home is sold. He has also said 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 government’s role broadly, his 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.

Political Alignment

Raslan appears aligned with the Conservative Activist tier of Idaho Republican politics. His 2026 IDGOP submission explicitly accepts the Idaho Republican Party platform “as the standard by which my performance as a candidate and as an officeholder should be evaluated” — language he volunteered independently and that goes beyond routine platform acknowledgment. His campaign framing positions him to the right of the incumbent, stating he is running to give voters a chance to support “a true Conservative Republican,” which implies existing Republican representation falls short. His documented positions on elections, abortion, federal education policy, and the constitutional limits of government reflect themes associated with Idaho’s conservative activist layer rather than its traditional conservative Republican governance. No documented ties to the Idaho Freedom Foundation, Idaho Freedom Caucus, Citizens Alliance of Idaho, or figures such as Greg Pruett or John Heida were identified during research.

Campaign and Endorsements

Raslan’s 2024 Gem County commissioner campaign drew letters of community support published in the Idaho Press. As of April 2026, no organizational endorsements for his 2026 Senate campaign have been reported in available sources.
