5 running for Justice Jones seat

As today’s 5 p.m. deadline approaches to file to run in May for the Idaho Legislature, congressional and U.S. Senate seats, local offices and judicial positions, the race to succeed retiring Idaho Supreme Court Chief Justice Jim Jones has ballooned into a five-way contested race. Among those filing so far: Deputy Idaho Attorney General Clive Strong; Boise attorney Breck Seiniger; Rupert Attorney Robyn Brody; attorney Christ Troupis, who unsuccessfully challenged Attorney General Lawrence Wasden in the 2014 GOP primary; and Idaho Sen. Curt McKenzie, R-Nampa. And there could still be more – it’s a few minutes still until the deadline.
