Idaho's First Congressional District after 2002.

The Idaho First Congressional District encompasses the western and northern parts of the state. It includes most of the state capital, Boise, and its surrounding metropolitan area, including the cities of Nampa and Meridian. It also includes Lewiston and Coeur d'Alene.

Since 2001 the district has been represented in the United States House of Representatives by C. L. "Butch" Otter, a Republican from Star. Otter was elected Governor of Idaho in 2006. He will be succeeded as the district's representative by Bill Sali, a Republican from Kuna.

[edit] History

The district was created for the 1918 election by the Idaho Legislature, although the boundaries have been changed several times since then by reapportionment.
