Gov. Brad Little sent letters dated Nov. 20, 2024 notifying the Idaho Senate of six gubernatorial appointments; the letters were read during the Senate session on Jan. 8, 2025 and the Senate referred each nomination to a committee for consideration.
The notices, read by Senate staff during the eighth order of business, reported the following nominees and actions as read into the record: Wallace Hedrick of Eagle, Idaho, to the Public Charter School Commission (term reported as commencing 10/27/2023 and expiring 05/12/2027); Steve Landon of Chubbuck, Idaho, reappointment to the Idaho State Insurance Fund (term details not specified in the reading); Sherri Lynn Baer (city not specified in the reading), reappointment to the Board of Tax Appeals (term language in the reading included dates that appear inconsistent: commencing 06/30/2024 and expiring 06/30/2020); Linda Mitchell (city given as "Seigel Ida" in the reading), reappointment to the Lake Pend Oreille Basin Commission (term not specified in the reading); David Turnbull of Eagle, Idaho, appointed to the State Board of Education with a term expiration read as 07/01/2029; and a gubernatorial appointment for Lee Heinrich (nomination letter text not included earlier in the reading). All appointments were described in the reading as "subject to confirmation by the senate." The paperwork was filed in the office of the secretary.
After the letters were read, the Senate referred the nominations as follows: Wallace Hedrick — Education Committee; Steve Landon — Commerce Committee; Sherri Lynn Baer — Education Committee; Lee Heinrich — Local Government and Taxation Committee; Linda Mitchell — Resources and Environment Committee; David Turnbull — Education Committee. The referral actions were recorded by the presiding officer during the session; no roll-call votes on the nominations occurred during the reading.
The referrals send each nomination into the committee process, where members will consider the appointments and report back to the full Senate. The notices themselves serve as formal notification and do not constitute confirmation; any confirmation votes would be scheduled separately by the committees or by the full Senate.
