Melissa Davlin of Idaho Reports writes on her blog here that there’s at least one contested leadership race shaping up in the Idaho House: Rep. Rick Youngblood, R-Nampa, is running for House Assistant Majority Leader, as is the current holder of that post, Rep. Brent Crane, R-Nampa. Crane had earlier said he was considering a run for speaker against Speaker Scott Bedke, R-Oakley, but then decided against it, and said in October he’ll run for his current leadership position again.

Youngblood told Idaho Reports he was first encouraged to run for Crane’s post when Crane was considering leaving it, but he’s in now, planning to challenge Crane.
