Who’s on the ballot this spring? Seems like everyone. Here’s the list.

Yes, “everyone” overstates things a bit. But open seats and current politics have produced several high-interest races this spring, and the number of candidates is pretty overwhelming.

Friday was the deadline for candidates to file to run for federal, state and county offices.

Open seats for Congress, governor and lieutenant governor attracted particular interest, as did several legislative seats. A number of candidates are unopposed in the primary and, barring successful write-in challengers, will advance to represent their party in the general election this fall.

One category that didn’t get much attention: No state Supreme Court, appellate court or local district court judges have challengers this spring.

And as often happens, a handful of local legislators have no primary or general competition at all.

Here’s who filed for statewide office and to represent southwest Idaho.
