Becky Sundin Mitchell, a Democratic candidate for Idaho Superintendent of Public Instruction, is a relative political newcomer with over two decades of classroom experience. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in chemistry education, a Master of Science in science education, and a Doctor of Education. Originally from Oregon, she moved to Idaho in 2009. Disheartened by political rhetoric concerning teachers, she switched her voter registration to the Democratic Party. Mitchell aims to bring her extensive experience to the role, emphasizing the importance of listening sessions with educators and families across the state to understand local educational needs and concerns about campaign donations influencing Idaho education. She previously explored a legislative run before focusing on the superintendent race due to newly available time.
