Startin to Run for Idaho House Seat 25A
TWIN FALLS (March 19, 2024) – Idaho native and Twin Falls resident W. Lane Startin announces his candidacy for Idaho State House of Representatives in District 25, Seat A, as a Democratic Party candidate.
Startin, 50, is a lead field service technician for a major medical technology company. Having lived and worked throughout the country, he returned home after many eye-opening and satisfying experiences. He is an alumnus of Twin Falls High School, College of Southern Idaho, and Idaho State University.
“Idaho in general – and Twin Falls in particular – has always been a voice for moderation,” Startin says. “I am running to counter the disturbing trend of extremism prevalent among Idaho Republicans today. Twin Falls has a proud history of being a city of reason in the Gem State. In the Idaho House, I intend to uphold that."
In the Idaho House, Startin pledges to roll back the authoritarian agenda of the current Republican majority. He strongly supports restoring local option, the right of women to choose, and the rights of those who live differently. It is neither the right nor the duty of the Idaho Legislature to choose how the citizens of our state live.
Startin will run unopposed in the May 21 Democratic primary.
