The first debate for the Idaho Legislature took place at Compass Academy, organised by the Greater Idaho Falls Chamber. Candidates for Seat B and Seat A debated over maintaining or repealing Medicaid expansion, which they believe would have saved them $150 million. The debate also included discussion of housing affordability, education funding, medical marijuana, and water rights. In the race for Seat A, incumbent Stephanie Mickelsen and candidate Kelly Golden contrasted on immigration. A second debate with candidates from Legislative Districts 33 and 35 will be held on Thursday.
