Jerry Bingham
Senate 30
Hometown: Blackfoot
Occupation: Farmer
Statement: “Even though Idaho is considered a Red State, why are we having such a hard time keeping our Conservative Values intact? Maybe we aren’t sending the right people to Boise to represent us. I’m running for Senator in District 30, Butte and Bingham County. I promise to be YOUR Senator and NOT a Senator for Special Interest Lobbyists. I think I can do better.”

Julie VanOrden
Senate 30
Hometown: Pingree
Occupation: Agribusiness owner, homemaker
Statement: “I am a member of the Republican Party because I believe that government overreach needs to be controlled. Regulations should only be used when they are a benefit to citizens. Making sure there is accountability attached to public dollars is critical in implementing programs that are useful and meaningful. I strongly support parental involvement in education, I know the 2nd Amendment is a right that is never to be infringed, and I am well versed in the agricultural needs of our community and state.”
