Brad Little is Idaho’s 33rd Governor, leading the people of Idaho through the most prosperous time in state history. His tenure as Governor is marked by unprecedented red tape reduction, record tax relief, and historic investments in education, workforce training, and infrastructure.

The people of Idaho elected Brad Little to be their Governor in November of 2018 and reelected him in November of 2022. He has served as Idaho’s 33rd Governor since January 7, 2019.

Governor Little is an Emmett native who was raised on his family’s sheep and cattle ranching operation. He graduated from the University of Idaho in 1977 with a Bachelor of Science in Agribusiness and has worked in the ranching industry for his entire professional life. He also has extensive experience in the Idaho banking and manufacturing industries.

In 1978, Brad Little had good fortune and married Teresa Soulen of Weiser. Teresa and Brad are the proud parents of two sons who have wonderful wives – Adam and Angela, and David and Kelsey. They have six beautiful grandchildren.

For more than three decades, Governor Little has taken on leadership roles within the state to promote better opportunities for the Idaho people. He was selected for leadership positions by his peers in agriculture, including public lands resource management resolutions for grazing and timber resources. He also was selected for leadership roles in organizations that cut across Idaho business, education, and philanthropy.

Governor Little has a heart for public service. He first served in public office in 2001 when he was selected to fill a Senate vacancy. He was then elected to four consecutive terms to the Idaho Senate. During his service as a Senator, Brad was elected by his Republican peers during his first full term to serve in Party leadership as Majority Caucus Chair. He then served as Idaho’s 37th Lt. Governor starting on January 6, 2009.

Governor Little is committed to making decisions through one lens: the lens of ensuring Idaho’s children and grandchildren have the best opportunities to stay in Idaho and for the ones who have left to choose to return.
