Susan Counsil, Democrat for Idaho Senate District 11

Susan Counsil is the Democratic nominee for Idaho Senate District 11. Her name appears on the November 3, 2026 general election ballot alongside Republican incumbent Camille Blaylock and Constitution Party candidate Esther Ma.

Counsil ran unopposed in the May 19, 2026 Democratic primary and received 689 votes, 100 percent of ballots cast, a certified result.

She lives in Caldwell, per her official candidate filing with the Idaho Secretary of State. Caldwell is in Canyon County, within Senate District 11.

Campaign

Public information about Counsil's campaign is thin. She spoke at an Idaho 50501 "No Kings 3" protest outside Caldwell City Hall on March 28, 2026, where she appeared on a list of several other Democratic candidates who addressed the crowd.

She did not respond to the idahonews.com general election candidate survey by its deadline in August 2026. Neither of her two opponents responded either, so the survey page lists no platform statements from any candidate in the race.

Her 2026 campaign finance filings show $675 in contributions, all from individual donors including herself, $583.12 in expenditures, $407.78 in ending cash, and $315.90 in outstanding loans.
