Two-way race: turnout matters Draft: awaiting review
Lori Hickman D
Hickman is the only non-Republican on the ballot, so this is a two-way race and turnout is what matters. The 25-point margin in 2022 was the closest statewide race that year, and the Democrat carried Ada County (Arkoosh 95,467 to Labrador 88,131). It is still a long shot statewide, with no public poll.

Attorney General since 2023; former U.S. Representative for Idaho's 1st District and a founding member of the House Freedom Caucus.
“When I ran for Attorney General, I promised to aggressively defend Idaho's values. The legal battles over life, parental rights, and fairness in women's sports are far from over. Idahoans deserve an Attorney General who shares their conservative principles, stands firm, takes these fights to the highest courts, and never apologizes for defending our laws.”

Still being checked (1)
- The Change Research poll was paid for by a governor campaign, so it is not independent. Its memo gives field dates as "July 28-39, 2026", an obvious typo; July 28-30 is assumed.
