Jim Guthrie is running as the Republican incumbent for Idaho Senate District 28 in the 2026 general election. The election is scheduled for Nov. 3, 2026, and the race is listed as uncontested.

That means Guthrie is the only candidate listed in this race. The uncontested designation describes the current candidate field; it does not state an election result.

The candidate

Guthrie is identified as the incumbent, meaning he currently holds the District 28 seat. He is seeking to remain in the Idaho Senate as a Republican.

No candidate biography is on file. The official candidate entry therefore does not list details about Guthrie’s education, employment, community involvement or previous experience beyond his incumbent status.

For voters, the central facts in the candidate entry are his name, Republican affiliation and status as the current officeholder. No other candidate is listed for the District 28 Senate contest.

The 2026 race

The District 28 election is part of Idaho’s 2026 general election, which is set for Tuesday, Nov. 3. Guthrie is listed as the Republican candidate and incumbent in the State Senate race.

The contest is marked as uncontested. There is no Democratic candidate, independent candidate or other party candidate listed in the race. Because the candidate field can be an important part of how voters assess a contest, the uncontested status is a key feature of this election as currently listed.

The designation does not provide information about voter participation or the eventual vote total. It only identifies the race as one without a listed opposing candidate.

Policy positions

Guthrie has no documented policy positions on file for the 2026 District 28 race. As a result, no position can be assigned to him on state spending, taxes, education, health care or any other policy question from the official candidate entry.

The lack of a documented position should not be read as support for or opposition to any proposal. It means the candidate entry does not establish where Guthrie stands on specific issues in this election.

Voters looking to compare candidates will not have an opposing candidate’s platform in this uncontested race. They also do not have filed policy statements from Guthrie in the candidate record.

Campaign finance information

No totals are on file for Guthrie’s campaign fundraising, spending or cash on hand. Those entries do not establish that the campaign raised or spent zero dollars; they mean there is no amount listed for any of the three categories.

Fundraising shows money received by a campaign, while spending reflects campaign expenses. Cash on hand is the amount a campaign reports as remaining at a particular point. None of those figures is listed for Guthrie’s 2026 candidacy.

The candidate listing and any campaign finance updates will be important process points to follow before the Nov. 3 general election. Changes to the candidate field, biographical entry, policy statements or financial totals could add information for District 28 voters.

What to watch

  • Any change to the District 28 candidate listing
  • Any policy positions added before the general election
  • Any campaign finance totals filed for Guthrie
  • Election administration updates ahead of Nov. 3
