BOISE, Idaho (AP) - A Boise man who was once a plaintiff in a high-profile anti-panhandling lawsuit has registered as a Republican candidate for Idaho governor.
Troy Minton joins an increasingly crowded race. With Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter saying he will not seek a fourth term in 2018, the race already has three competitive GOP candidates: Lt. Gov. Brad Little, former state Sen. Russ Fulcher and Boise businessman Tommy Alhquist.
No candidate has yet to file as a Democrat for governor.
