The people of Idaho elected Scott Bedke as the state’s 44th Lieutenant Governor in November 2022 after his decade long service as the Speaker of the
Idaho House of Representatives.
Scott is committed to maintaining the Idaho Way. This includes a pledge for a limited government, a quality education for every student, and a plan for our state’s water supply. It also means keeping the values that matter most, like being a good neighbor, at the forefront.
