Rep.
Raul Labrador, R-Eagle, said today that he’ll announce his candidacy for the 1st District congressional seat on Monday, with announcements in Boise and Coeur d’Alene. Already in the GOP primary race is Iraq war veteran Vaughn Ward; state Rep. Ken Roberts, R-Donnelly, dropped out of the race on Nov. 10, at which time Labrador said he planned to jump into the race in about a week. Ward, who’s making his first run for office, has been campaigning hard for months and had outraised Roberts by four times/Betsy Russell, Eye On Boise. More here.

Yeah he’s hard core. But with an interesting twist. Sali was very xenophobic on immigration and Labrador is an immigration attorney originally from Puerto Rico. Minnick drove the wedge on the immigration issue when running against Sali securing some traditionally Republican business support as a result. The question is, will Kage vote for him?

An LDS immigration attorney originally from Puerto Rico? Definitely not your usual 1st CD candidate…

Great name! Should get him elected given the non-credentials of all the candidates.
