Idleman Files In Cargill District

Mike Idleman filed as a Republican candidate in House District 96 today. Former House Speaker Lance Cargill, who resigned that post after it was revealed he failed to pay taxes in a timely fashon, currently holds the seat.

"I'm running because I feel like I bring a point of view that is needed at the capitol. There aren't many conservative, former educators down there and I feel like I'm the right man, at the right time for House Seat 96," said Idleman.
"As I've knocked doors throughout the district, people keep asking about Lance. I want to be clear; I'm not running against anyone, I'm running for a cause. I believe education and security should be our top priorities as a state and that's what I intend to do. Focus on those issues and be a rock solid conservative within the caucus," said Idleman.
"This district is where my family is from, where I grew up and taught. That's why I'm running for District 96. This isn't about anything negative or geared towards any one person," Idleman said.
