Without making a formal announcement or issuing a press release, Ybarra’s campaign team unveiled the new list <a href="http://ybarraforidaho.com/Supporters">on her website</a> over the weekend. The list includes five of Ybarra’s fellow GOP constitutional officers and more than 20 Republican legislators.

Prominent names on Ybarra’s endorsement list include Lt. Gov. Brad Little, the Republican nominee for governor. Senate Education Committee Chairman Dean Mortimer, R-Idaho Falls, retiring Joint Finance Appropriations Committee co-chairs Sen. Shawn Keough, R-Sandpoint, and Rep. Maxine Bell, R-Jerome, and House Education Committee Vice Chairman Patrick McDonald, R-Boise, are on the list.

Notably, retiring Republican Gov. Butch Otter, who Ybarra served alongside for the past four years, is not listed among Ybarra’s endorsements.

Ybarra’s list includes seven of 16 members of the House Education Committee and three of nine members of the Senate Education Committee.

On Nov. 6, Ybarra faces off against Democratic nominee Cindy Wilson in the race for state superintendent.

Wilson <a href="https://www.idahoednews.org/news/iea-endorses-wilson-in-state-superintendents-race/">previously unveiled endorsements</a> from the Idaho Education Association’s Political Action Committee for Education, the AFL-CIO, Rexburg Mayor Jerry Merrill and former Idaho Department of Corrections Director Kevin Kempf.
