Legislative District 32 Selects Nominees to Fill Representative Horman’s Seat

IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI) — The Bonneville County Republican Central Committee selected three finalists Tuesday night to fill a vacancy in Idaho House Legislative District 32 after Rep. Wendy Horman accepted a job in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Precinct committee officers chose Erin Bingham as the top nominee, followed by William Athay and Stephanie Taylor Thompson. Under Idaho law, when a legislative seat opens, Republican precinct committee officers pick three qualified candidates. The Governor then appoints one to fill the seat.

“I would like to thank all of the candidates who stepped forward and the precinct committee officers of Legislative District 32 for their willingness to serve,” said LD 32 Chair Maria Hatch. “The process was conducted thoughtfully and respectfully, and I appreciate the professionalism shown by everyone involved.”

The Governor is expected to make the appointment in the coming weeks.
