   After six years of serving in the Idaho House of Representatives, Democrat Sally Toone will not seek reelection, the Blaine County Democrats announced late last month. Statewide redistricting placed Toone’s hometown of Gooding into District 24 for the 2022 elections.

   “Sally’s passion for public education was demonstrated daily on the legislature floor while her love of ranching and farming was represented in countless hours of committee work,” Karen Bliss, the Blaine County Democrats chair, said.

   In the hopes of replacing Toone, Democrat Karma Fitzgerald has announced her candidacy for the District 26 Seat B position.
