BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Former Idaho lawmaker Bert Marley of McCammon has been elected chairman of the Idaho Democratic Party.
The Idaho Democratic State Central Committee elected Marley on Saturday.
Marley replaces Larry Kenck, who resigned earlier this year because of health issues. He beat opponent Dean Ferguson, who is the current party's spokesman.
Marley served in the Idaho House from 1998 to 2001. In 2006, he unsuccessfully ran for State Superintendent of Public Instruction and then attempted to run for Lt. Gov. in 2014 but lost to Republican incumbent Brad Little.
