Six Idaho legislative seats flip in favor of Democrats

Congressional races in the state saw Idahoans remain consistent in electing a uniformly Republican delegation, but elections for the Idaho Legislature saw a few notable flips on Tuesday night. These elections, which have each of the 105 state legislators up for election every two years, saw six seats change party affiliation in favor of Democrats on Tuesday, including in several swing districts around west Boise and Pocatello. Legislative victors in several of these races spoke to the Idaho Press on Wednesday on what they believed was behind their seats flipping. Each cited similar desires from constituents to have the direction of the state move away from divisive policies and toward addressing key kitchen-table issues such as rising healthcare costs and growing infrastructure needs. West Boise goes blueIdaho’s District 15, which covers a portion of west Boise, will now have full Democratic representation after incumbent Rep. Steve Berch retained his House seat in District 15.

Liberty Park off of Emerald Street is undergoing renovations for improved accessibility, the addition of bathrooms and new playground equipment.

During construction, the park will remain closed to public use. The $2 million investment comes from multiple sources according to Boise Parks and Recreation Director Sara Arkle, including the Funded by Land and Water Conservation Fund and the city’s general fund. “One of the things we’ve been challenged with, and I know many people have, is just the increased cost of construction,” Arkle said. “So it does take a really creative mind and a good partnership between our city departments to make good work happen.” The final design
