BOISE, Idaho – There will likely be no change in the top of Idaho politics.

Incumbent Republican Brad Little has a sizable lead on election night and is on pace to hang on to the office he assumed in 2019.

With more than 200,000 votes counted by 9 pm on election night, Little was leading his closest challenger Terri Pickens by about 34,000 votes.

John Stenger was holding on to third place in the race.

Little was born and raised in Emmett, Idaho and is a graduate of the University of Idaho.
