Endorses Hostetler
The race
Idaho House District 24 elects two representatives — Seat A and Seat B — on November 3, 2026; voters fill both seats. The confirmed general-election roster, from the Ballotpedia general-election table, is: Clint Hostetler (R); Kevin Moxley (Ind.); Chance Requa (R). Endorsements in this article are per seat: one endorsement for each of the two seats the ballot fills. No published district-level competitiveness rating was located for this district at this sourcing depth; both Idaho chambers are rated Safe Republican at chamber level (Sabato's Crystal Ball; State Navigate, via Wikipedia's predictions tables), which is not a district rating.
Ballotpedia note carried in the roster: Seat B incumbent not identified in source general table.
The candidates, claim by claim
Clint Hostetler (R). Hostetler is the Seat A incumbent — the only Magic Valley Gang of Eight member to survive the May primary (Idaho Education News). He faces independent Kevin Moxley for Seat A.
Kevin Moxley (Ind.). Moxley's independent candidacy carries documented Democratic ties: the Twin Falls Democratic Central Committee gave his campaign $500, and prominent Democrats including state chair Lauren Necochea donated (Gem State Chronicle, September 2026, citing campaign-finance reporting).
Chance Requa (R). Requa won the Seat B Republican primary over incumbent Steve Miller and is unopposed in the general election after the Democratic nominee, Enrique Salas Viernes, withdrew in September (Idaho Education News; Wikipedia).
OUR CALL
We endorse Clint Hostetler (R) and Chance Requa (R) — one for each seat. Where a nominee has no prior service record located, that seat's endorsement carries the unproven form — as unproven, and on watch; unproven is a watch posture, never a demerit. Seat A: Hostetler is endorsed over an independent whose documented financing ties run to the Democratic Party — that is a distinguishing record, printed above. Seat B: Requa is endorsed as unproven, and on watch. No extremist classification is made for any candidate here: the personal-program test (documented DSA membership, self-described democratic socialist, or an authored socialist program) was not met by any candidate on this ballot on sourced evidence. Democratic nominees are priced Enabler class where they appear — party-line service with no Manchin-test break located.

Vote early. Research your candidates. Choose the best moderates, whatever their party — no extremism from either side. And encourage your friends and family to do the same.
