BOISE — Idaho Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter has been very open about his support for Lt. Gov. Brad Little, and he made his endorsement official last week. Otter and Little have served the state of Idaho together in a variety of leadership roles, successfully moving Idaho through the Great Recession to become the state with the fastest rate of personal income growth in the nation. Together they have done what Congress has failed to do — stop the Obamacare coverage monopoly with a solution to lower health care costs for working Idahoans.

Little has worked tirelessly with the Governor’s Office and the Idaho Department of Commerce to bring new businesses to Idaho and expand existing companies looking to create more and better Idaho jobs. Idaho’s unemployment rate now is at an average of 3 percent, with jobless numbers below 2 percent in some areas.
