State superintendent, GOP
Debbie Critchfield: The outgoing State Board of Education member has raised at least $92,000 since announcing in May. One notable recent donation: $1,000 from House Education Committee member Julie Yamamoto, R-Caldwell. (Donations reported on July 13: $65,500.)
Sherri Ybarra: The incumbent has not announced her plans for 2022, but has raised at least $6,500. (July 13 reporting: $5,500.)
Branden Durst: The former legislator, who has switched affiliation from the Democratic Party to the GOP, has raised at least $4,500, including $1,000 from Idaho Freedom Foundation board chairman Brent Regan of Coeur d’Alene. (July 13 reporting: $1,000.)
Lieutenant governor, GOP
Luke Malek: The former legislator from Coeur d’Alene has reported $93,446 in contributions. It’s not an apples-to-apples comparison, since Malek is filing monthly reports listing all of his fundraising — not just the legally required reports of donations of $1,000 or more. (Donations reported on July 13: $82,768.)
Priscilla Giddings: The state representative from White Bird has raised at least $89,000. (July 13 reporting: $53,000.)
