  • Jerry Brady (Democratic), newspaper publisher and 2002 Democratic nominee for governor

  • Ted Dunlap (Libertarian)


  • Butch Otter (Republican), U.S. Congressman, former Lieutenant Governor of Idaho



Controversy


Marvin Pro-Life Richardson (that was his legal middle name) filed suit to force the state to print his full legal name on the ballots, just as he filed his paperwork. The Secretary of State denied this, stating that ballots themselves are supposed to be neutral, not political billboards. Richardson claimed that it is simply his name.[3] In September 2006 he changed his legal name to simply "Pro-Life" in an attempt to force the issue. However, the ballots went to the printer with "Marvin Richardson" as the Constitution Party candidate. The party later disavowed his candidacy resulting in a candidate without a name, and without a party, yet on the ballot.[4]



Election results


Although Otter won by 8.56% the election was surprisingly close. Brady performed much better than expected, receiving 44.11% of the vote.
