Redistricting
The makeup of the 2023 legislature will look completely different. There are expected to be mass retirements and some of these new districts will require incumbents to run against each other.
Challenges to Redistricting
An eastern Idaho man filed a challenge against Idaho’s new legislative redistricting plan last week with the Idaho Supreme Court, bringing the total number of redistricting challenges to three. Idaho was the second-fastest-growing state in the country over the previous 10 years, according to the 2020 census. But that growth was lopsided and divided, which is why the political districts needed to be thrown out and redrawn.

Fiscal year to date, total general fund collections are 14.4% ahead of forecast. Individual filing brought in $154.5 million. Of the $45.0 million excess, a full $25.4 is due to this past month alone.
