ID-GOV: Terri Pickens projected to win Idaho Democratic Party's gubernatorial primary election [View all]

Boise attorney Terri Pickens was projected to win the Idaho Democratic gubernatorial primary election, according to the Associated Press.

The AP called the Idaho Democratic primary election for Pickens at 9:32 p.m. Mountain time Tuesday, while election results were still being counted.

Pickens, who grew up in Pocatello and lives in Boise, has campaigned on a platform of supporting public schools and ending what she called an “endless culture war” pushed by Republicans in the Idaho Legislature and incumbent GOP Gov. Brad Little.

At 11:30 p.m. Mountain time, incomplete election returns showed Pickens lead a field of four Democratic candidates. Those results showed Pickens had won about 62% of the votes counted, or 27,434 total votes. Jill C. Kirkham of Pocatello was in second place with about 17% of the votes counted, or 7,454 votes. Maxine Durand of Twin Falls was in third place and Channel Torrez of Nampa was in fourth place.
