Longtime Boise school trustee and 2014 gubernatorial candidate AJ Balukoff will lead Idaho’s delegation to the Democratic National Convention in July.
The Democrats’ 27 national delegates elected Balukoff as their chairman.
“I am excited to represent the people of Idaho as a Bernie Sanders supporter from a state where 78 percent of caucusgoers voted for Sanders,” Balukoff said in a news release.
Other Idaho delegates with K-12 connections are Bert Marley, the state Democratic Party chairman and former Idaho Education Association lobbyist, who will go to the Philadelphia convention as a Sanders superdelegate; and Rep. Ilana Rubel of Boise, a House Education Committee member who will go as a delegate for Hillary Clinton.
