Idaho's candidate filing deadline could soon be shortened

Candidates for elected office would only have one week to file to officially run under a new bill introduced Tuesday morning. Right now, political hopefuls have two weeks in the spring to officially file their candidacy.

I cover politics and a bit of everything else for Boise State Public Radio. Outside of public meetings, you can find me fly fishing, making cool things out of leather or watching the Seattle Mariners' latest rebuilding season.
