Democratic candidate for governor, Keith Allred, released the following comment after being declared the winner of the Democratic primary by the Associated Press.
"I'm grateful for the support from Idahoans in today's primary," Allred said. "Now, I invite Idahoans of all political stripes to join me in the months ahead.
"I'm committed to working harder than ever to make Idaho's government work for all of us. Idahoans' interests must come ahead of special interests and partisan politics.
"Idahoans want their schools properly funded and they want their governor to have a plan for boosting Idaho's economy and creating new jobs. I'm excited to work with Idahoans to find practical solutions that work for everyone."
Allred faced Lee Chaney of Preston in the Democratic primary.
