The people of Idaho elected Brad Little as the state’s 33rd Governor in November 2018. He became Governor on January 7, 2019. Governor Little is an Emmett native who was raised on his family’s sheep and cattle ranching operation.
One of the first things I did when I took office as Idaho's governor in 2007 was to impose a zero-base budgeting program.
That means every agency and operation of our State government must continually justify its spending and ongoing existence; there are no “grandfather” rights when it comes to taxpayer dollars. I've insisted that agencies stick to those jobs required of them by law or the Idaho Constitution.
Idahoans deserve a State government that gives them good value for their hard-earned tax dollars, and I am determined to see that they get it.
