In legislative District 1, former State Sen. Scott Herndon won a second rematch in a volleying rivalry against Sen. Jim Woodward with 53.4% of the vote. Herndon took the seat from Woodward in 2022, then Woodward won the seat back in 2024. Herndon wrote in a Facebook post that he is honored by the result. “Property tax relief, parental rights, and accountable government – that’s what you voted for, and that’s what I’ll deliver in Boise,” he wrote.
