Idaho Republicans to expand supermajority in Idaho Legislature • Idaho Capital Sun
As part of Tuesday’s conservative red wave, Republicans were poised to expand their supermajority in the Idaho Legislature based on unofficial results from the 2024 general election.
Idaho Republicans were on the verge of gaining four legislative seats and adding to the GOP’s robust supermajority.
Idaho Democrats, meanwhile, were looking at coughing up four legislative seats and seeing their influence in Boise diminished again.
Based on partial, unofficial election results released early Wednesday by the Idaho Secretary of State’s Office, Republicans were poised to flip Idaho Senate seats in West Boise’s Legislative District 15 and Central Idaho’s Legislative District 26. Republicans were also in position to flip Idaho House of Representatives seats in District 26 and Bannock County’s District 29.
For the past two years, Idaho Republicans controlled 87 of the 105 seats in the Idaho Legislature, while Democrats controlled 18 seats in the Idaho Legislature.
If Wednesday’s results hold, the balance of power would shift to a 91-14 advantage for the Idaho GOP. Broken down further, Republicans would control 30 seats in the Idaho Senate compared to five seats for the Democrats. Republicans would also see their influence in the Idaho House grow to a 61 to nine advantage over Democrats.
- In the District 15 Idaho Senate race, former House Rep. Codi Galloway, R-Boise, was leading incumbent Sen. Rick Just, D-Boise, by a margin of 12,414 votes to 11,089 with all 197 Ada County precincts reporting early Wednesday, according to the Ada County Elections Office.
- In the District 26 Idaho Senate race, former Rep. Laurie Lickley, R-Jerome, was leading incumbent Sen. Ron Taylor, D-Hailey, by a margin of 7,933 votes to 7,873 with one of the three counties fully reporting, according to the Idaho Secretary of State’s Office.
- In the District 26 Idaho House Seat A race, Republican challenger Mike Pohanka was leading incumbent Rep. Ned Burns, D-Bellevue, by a margin of 9,127 votes to 8,404 votes with one of three counties fully reporting.
- In the District 29 Idaho House Seat B race, Republican challenger Tanya Burgoyne defeated incumbent Rep. Nate Roberts, D-Pocatello, by a margin of 11,498 votes to 10,359 votes with all Bannock County precincts reporting.
Although it is too early to tell, losing seats in the 2024 general election could potentially cost Democrats some of the few seats they do hold on influential legislative committees such as the House State Education Committee and the House Health and Welfare Committee. Idaho legislators will convene an organizational session in early December to elect leadership positions, choose committee chairs and make committee assignments.
Election results in Idaho will not become official in Idaho until they are certified by the Idaho State Board of Canvassers on Nov. 26 in Boise.

James Ryan Roberts, age 40, of Idaho Falls, passed away on October 31, 2024.
He was born September 7, 1984, to Scott and Georgann Roberts in Rexburg, Idaho. He was the third of four children. His siblings are Aimee, Devin and Jordan. Ryan graduated from Bonneville High School in 2003 with high honors. Shortly after, he married Nicole Staker then later divorced. They have one daughter, Kaitlyn.
On January 14, 2006, Ryan married his eternal companion, Jennifer Dieringer, in the Idaho Falls Temple. They have five sons, Logan, Jaxson, Tycen, Masen, and Camren and one, long-awaited-for daughter, Haivyn.
They made their home in Idaho Falls, where Ryan worked for several years for Melaleuca until he joined the Army with his MOS being Infantry. He served two honorable tours, one in Iraq and one in Afghanistan. He was a Staff Sergeant with his Expert Marksmanship and Combat Infantryman Badge. He gave his heart and soul to the cause of the United States of America, while Jen and their children soldiered on at home. After the military, Ryan returned to work for Melaleuca until shortly before his death. Through diligent determination Ryan also earned his B.S. in Business Management.
Ryan found escape from the PTSD and scars of war by climbing the majestic mountains of Idaho. He found camaraderie with friends and bonding with his sons during the thrill of those climbs. Ryan had a passion for weight-lifting and worked hard to stay fit. He had an easy smile. His humor and wit left people with their cheeks hurting from laughter. His love for his kids and wife ran deep. Jen and Ryan loved having their kids fall asleep, piled on their bed, sometimes pets included. His thoughts were always focused on how to be a better dad and he fought to be a better man.
Ryan delighted in wearing novelty socks no matter the occasion. We invite all to wear novelty socks to the services.
He is survived by his loving wife Jennifer Roberts of Ammon, Idaho; his children Kaitlyn Burbank of Rigby, Idaho, Logan, Jaxson, Tycen, Masen, Camren and Haivyn of Ammon, Idaho; parents, Scott and Georgann Roberts of Ucon, Idaho; siblings, Aimee Roberts of Idaho Falls, Devin (Amy) Roberts of Idaho Falls, and Jordan (Ashley) Roberts of Shelley; in-laws, Darrell and Leeanne Dieringer of Bremerton, WA; and siblings- in-law, Christopher (Bethany) Dieringer of Bremerton, WA, and Alexander Dieringer of Chesapeake, VA.
Services will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, November 9, 2024, at the Stone Arbor Ward, 4459 John Adams Parkway. The family will visit with friends Friday evening from 6-8 p.m. at Wood Funeral Home East Side, 963 South Ammon Road, and Saturday from 9:30-10:30 a.m. prior to the services at the church. Burial will be in the Ammon Cemetery. Military Honors will be performed by the Bonneville County Veterans Memorial Team and Idaho Honor Guard.
A GoFundMe account has been created for Jen and the kids to help them continue being warriors without their husband and father. You may donate here.
