[BOISE] – Attorney General Raúl Labrador announced the promotion of Dan Estes to Director of Consumer Protection and appointment of Damon Sidur as Communications Director for the Idaho Office of the Attorney General.
Estes has served as the Public Information Officer for the Attorney General’s Office since November 2023, where he has successfully led the office’s media relations, enhanced public awareness of key legal victories, and strengthened outreach efforts across Idaho. His dedication to clear, effective communication has played a critical role in advancing the Attorney General’s priorities and ensuring Idahoans are informed about the work being done on their behalf.
In his new role as Director of Consumer Protection, Estes will oversee a team of analysts, coordinate media efforts to inform the public about consumer issues and collaborate closely with the Attorney General on community outreach across Idaho.
“Dan has been an outstanding Public Information Officer, ensuring Idahoans are informed about the important work our office is doing on their behalf,” Labrador said. “His dedication and skill for serving the people of Idaho have made a real difference. Dan’s commitment to consumer protection and keeping Idahoans informed makes him the right choice for this role. This promotion is well-deserved, and I have no doubt he will excel.”

Sidur most recently served as Communications Director for Congressman Michael Cloud (R-TX) and Congressman Cliff Bentz (R-OR), where he led media relations and communications outreach. Before that, he served as Digital Media Director for Congressman Bob Good (R-VA) and as Deputy Communications Director for the Colorado House Republican Caucus. Sidur is a graduate of Colorado Christian University.
“Damon is a talented, strong conservative communicator who will lead our efforts to ensure Idahoans hear directly about the work we’re doing to defend their rights, freedoms, and way of life,” Labrador said. “I’m excited to have him on the team.”
