In the final round of candidate filing for today, incumbent Congressmen Walt Minnick and Mike Simpson formally filed for re-election, and Republican Harley Brown, a frequent candidate for office in  Boise, filed in the 1st District race, listing an Idaho City address. In the governor's race, Democrat Keith Allred and Libertarian Ted Dunlap of Kuna were added to the list that already included, so far, independent Jana Kemp and Republican Rex Rammell. And incumbent state Controller Donna Jones, incumbent Supreme Court Justices Roger Burdick and Jim Jones, and incumbent Appellate Court Judge Karen Lansing all filed for re-election.

For the Legislature, 19 more incumbents filed for re-election, on top of the 31 who'd filed by mid-day. Several more also picked up challengers: Greg Collett, Republican, of Caldwell, filed against Sen. John McGee, R-Caldwell; Jen Stanko of Boise filed against Rep. Lynn Luker in the Republican primary; Republican Ralph Perez of Garden City filed against Rep. Grant Burgoyne, D-Boise; and Republican Robert Lauritsen filed against Senate Minority Leader Kate Kelly, D-Boise. Also, Republican Reed Demordaunt of Eagle filed for the seat that's presumably being vacated by Rep. Raul Labrador, R-Eagle, who's already announced he's running for Congress in the 1st District.
