Where is the money coming from? PACs, companies donating in the Idaho governor’s race
Thirteen candidates for Idaho governor made Friday’s candidate filing deadline and are expected to appear on 2022 ballots, including Gov. Brad Little and Lt. Gov. Janice McGeachin.
Over $3 million has been donated to candidates running for the governor in 2022, through individuals, organizations and political action committees, according to the Idaho Secretary of State’s Office, which keeps an ongoing list of donations. While some organizations are locally owned businesses, others are national organizations or come from out of state.
Read below for a list of organizations and PACs that have donated to gubernatorial candidates since Jan. 1, 2021. These include only donations of $50 or greater. Contributions of under $50 are not required to be reported.
