Democratic candidate for governor A.J. Balukoff, while not ready to concede the race, said whether or not he wins, “It was worth it – we’ve been able to change the conversation. We’ve raised education to a good level of discussion. I feel great about what we’ve been able to accomplish so far.”

Here, Balukoff greets supporters at the Idaho Democratic Party election-night watch party at the Grove Hotel.
