Gov. Brad Little has appointed Brandon Shippy to the District 9 Senate seat recently vacated by Abby Lee, according to a July 18 press release issued by the governor’s office.
Neither Lee or Shippy were immediately available for comment July 23.
Shippy won the Dist. 9 Republican nomination against Scott Syme in the May primary election by a 4,404 to 4,114 margin.
He is a Payette native and business owner who runs Shippy Sprinkler, LLC.
“I am honored to be appointed to the Idaho State Senate,” Shippy said. “During the primary, I extensively toured our district, listening to the concerns of my neighbors from Cambridge to Greenleaf. I look forward to representing our community in Boise.”
Shippy will complete the remainder of Abby Lee’s term, which ends Nov. 30, 2024.
Idaho Code 59-904A addresses how vacancies in the Idaho legislature are filled. Payette County Republicans submitted a list of names to Governor Little for appointment, consistent with Idaho law.
