Idaho candidates preparing to post campaign sunshine reports

BOISE, Idaho – Idaho candidates across the state are preparing to file the latest round of campaign financial disclosure reports with the secretary of state’s office.

The reports offer a snapshot into how the state’s most competitive political races are shaking out nearly four months before the May primary election.

Candidates have until 5 p.m. Wednesday to file their end-of-year report. The last time candidates had to file campaign finance disclosure reports was at the end of July.

As of early afternoon Wednesday, none of the state’s top Republican gubernatorial candidate had filed their report.

Meanwhile, Democratic gubernatorial candidate A.J. Balukoff’s report shows he gave $175,000 of his own money to his campaign and raised roughly $6,200 in contributions from supporters.

Balukoff’s opponent, Democratic state Rep. Paulette Jordan, has not yet filed her report to the secretary of state’s office.
