Idaho Removes Lawmaker Addresses After Attack on Minnesota Officials

By Greg Pruett • June 17, 2025

Idaho lawmakers’ addresses no longer appear on the Idaho legislative website.

What’s Happening: In the wake of the murders in Minnesota, where one lawmaker was killed and another was wounded, some states are taking actions to protect lawmakers from being targeted.

Idaho Dispatch was working on another article about the arsonist who was convicted for burning down Rep. Cornel Rasor’s (R – Westmond) store down. As you can see, adding the party and town the lawmakers represent is a common practice in many news articles across various news outlets.

The legislative website is one of the easiest ways to find the town, and Idaho Dispatch noticed that the addresses were no longer listed.

Digging Deeper: Idaho Dispatch confirmed with Idaho Speaker of the House Mike Moyle (R – Star) that the addresses were removed in light of the Minnesota shootings.

Moyle told the Idaho Dispatch that lawmakers will have the option to put their addresses back on the legislative site if they wish to do so.
