Idaho Rep. Raul Labrador just issued this statement:

“Running for governor of the great state of Idaho takes serious preparation. To comply with both the spirit and the letter of the law, I have filed the appropriate campaign finance form required to register as a candidate for governor. I'll be making a formal announcement in the coming weeks.

“Idaho needs a proven conservative leader who will stand against the special interests and politicians that have picked the winners and losers in our state Capitol for too long. Idaho needs a strong leader who will make government fair for everyone.  Idaho needs a governor who will provide a new vision, a new approach and new leadership.”
