MT: Cheers To Idaho Democrats

CHEERS … to Idaho Democrats. The party fielded candidates in 25 of Idaho’s 35 Senate seats and 56 of its 70 House slots. That’s a big improvement over 2010, when Democrats ceded 17 Senate and 30 House races. After years of neglect, northern Idaho’s six legislative districts are filled with Democratic candidates. Among the notables: former Kootenai County Clerk Dan English, who is running for the seat now held by tax scofflaw Phil Hart, R-Athol, and former 2nd District Judge John Bradbury, the first Democrat to seek a Senate seat from Nez Perce County since 2008/ Marty Trillhaase , Lewiston Tribune.

Question: What do you think? Are you impressed that Idaho Democrats fielded far more contestants in legislative races this year, including all spots for Districts 2-4?
