Thirteen-term Republican Congressman Mike Simpson has secured his party’s nomination once again in Idaho’s 2nd Congressional District. Simpson’s political career spans decades, starting with his time on the Blackfoot City Council in 1980. Despite breaking with some Republicans on issues like the Jan. 6 investigation and the 2020 election recount, Simpson emerged victorious in the GOP primary with 55% of the vote. He will now face unopposed Democrat David Roth in the November general election.
