Hammett, ID, September 12, 2019:<\/strong>\u00a0Following the announcement that incumbent Senator Bert Brackett will be retiring following this term, Rep. Christy Zito has announced her candidacy for the seat.<\/p>\n \u201cAs much as I love my colleagues in the House, I believe that I can bring a much needed conservative perspective to the Idaho Senate,\u201d Zito said. \u201cToo often we see good, conservative legislation die or get ignored in the Senate, and I hope to change this.\u201d<\/p>\n First elected in 2016, Zito has quickly become a recognized leader and an outspoken voice for gun rights, health freedom, and other conservative causes. In the 2019 legislative session, she was a lead sponsor on House Bill 206 to expand constitutional carry in Idaho.<\/p>\n Zito is optimistic about the future. \u201cIdaho is a wonderful place to live and I look forward to serving my community and my state in the Senate as we continue to work toward securing our freedoms and protecting our values.\u201d<\/p>\n Those who wish to learn more about Zito and her campaign are encouraged to visit her website at\u00a0ChristyZito.com<\/a>. \u201cMy website will be updated soon to reflect my candidacy for Senate, but the information regarding my issues and positions won\u2019t change. I remain committed to serving as your conservative voice in the Senate just as I have in the House. It is an honor to serve you, to know you, and to be your friend.\u201d<\/p>\n ###<\/p>\n
