Who serves in the Idaho Senate?

Current members. Traceable sources.

This is a dated current-member snapshot. Membership follows the active term identified by the official chamber directory. A candidate list or vote lead does not establish a serving member. This view does not refresh automatically.

The House and Senate directories were checked November 6, 2026 (America/Chicago). Their 105 printed identities, parties, district numbers and House positions independently match all 35 official year-2026 district-detail responses. These are two official views of the same legislative records, not two independent government agencies.

House District 9 Seat A is an explicitly disclosed vacancy assessment. Both legislative views still list John Shirts, but the Department of Justice confirms his sworn-in U.S. Attorney appointment effective October 18 and describes his legislative service in the past tense. Direct local reporting identifies his resignation effective October 17 and describes the district committee’s replacement-nomination process. No successor has been verified; the published vacancy has no member name or current affiliation.

This assessment combines government confirmation of the new federal role and direct resignation reporting while preserving the stale legislative-directory conflict. It is not an explicit Idaho government vacancy notice and is not inferred from a missing row. The outdated directory row and its Republican label are retained in provenance, not published as current service or a current vacancy affiliation.

The published House roster has 60 Republican members, nine Democratic members and the assessed vacancy in Seat 9A. The Senate has 29 Republican and six Democratic members. House District 15 has one member of each party; District 9 has one Republican and one assessed vacant seat. Counts describe member seats, not geographic area, population, votes or caucus coalitions.

Idaho Constitution Article III section 3 sets two-year terms for both senators and representatives beginning December 1 following the general election. The next regular terms begin December 1, 2026. November election winners, candidate lists and vote leads do not establish service before that transition.

The serving directory includes Erin M. Bingham in House 32B. The Governor’s primary appointment notice confirms her January 9 appointment for the remainder of Wendy Horman’s term through November 30, 2026. Other directory names and positions remain as printed; no predecessor is substituted.

Idaho has 35 shared legislative districts. Each has one senator and House Seats A and B. Both representatives share a geographic polygon; no artificial boundaries are created between their positions. Official district-detail links are retained as member sources rather than fabricated individual-profile URLs.

These representation maps do not infer district, ZIP or ZCTA demographics from statewide ACS values. This dated snapshot does not refresh automatically.

Affiliations and positions come from official legislative directories, with the documented House 9A departure override. The assessed vacant seat is unassigned. Shared House districts show each seat’s affiliation or vacancy; party totals count seats. This snapshot does not refresh automatically.

Legal authority: current Idaho legislative Plan L03, adopted November 5 and reaffirmed November 10, 2021, used for the 2022–2031 district cycle. House Seats A/B and the senator share each of the 35 districts. Cartographic display and legal geometry are documented separately; current member affiliations do not come from GIS attributes. Small-scale display, not address-level district determination.
