About
Paul Sand is seeking the Libertarian Party nomination for Governor of Idaho in 2026, marking his second gubernatorial bid after securing the Libertarian nomination in 2022. He previously served ten years on a local city council and has been an Idaho property and business owner for three decades, recently opening an antique store in White Bird. His platform advocates for smaller state government, allowing counties greater self-rule, and reducing state involvement to essential functions. He aims to bridge the rural-urban political divide and believes in lifting up existing businesses and people rather than attracting new ones. He also champions businesses prioritizing worker well-being, seeing it as a solution to economic disparity and a counter to socialist trends.
