Idaho legislative candidates have raised a combined $2.38 million and have a combined cash balance of $3.57 million, according to campaign finance data in Idaho Sunshine as of Monday.
Idaho candidates must submit campaign finance reports on the 10th of each month for the previous month. The March reports show that seven of the top 15 fundraisers for legislative races don’t have a primary opponent. They are amassing war chests for less competitive general election races.
In the seven statewide races, only Gov. Brad Little has primary challengers. Mark Fitzpatrick has the largest war chest among Republican challengers, but independent candidate John Stegner has outraised him. Democrat Terri Pickens is the top Democrat in terms of money raised.
Here are the top 15 legislative fundraisers and all of the gubernatorial candidates who have reported contributions.
