RUSS SPENCER for Idaho Senate 20
God. Family. Country.


About Russ Spencer
Russ Spencer embodies the enduring Idaho values of faith, family, and freedom. A proud seventh-generation Idahoan, Russ was raised in the Treasure Valley and has never lost touch with the people and principles that make our state strong.
After serving a church mission in Guatemala, Russ earned his law degree from the Antonin Scalia Law School in Virginia, clerked for a federal appeals judge in Pennsylvania, and then returned home to Idaho to serve his community. He and his wife, Debra, are now raising their five children in Meridian, instilling in them the same love for Idaho that has guided his life.
Russ’s career is devoted to public service. As a Deputy Attorney General for Idaho, he defended our values at the highest level, arguing cases at the Idaho Supreme Court and even briefing a case before the U.S. Supreme Court. He later served as a prosecutor in Bonneville County, where he put violent criminals, drug traffickers, and child sex offenders behind bars, ensuring justice for victims while leading innovative approaches to rehabilitation for nonviolent offenders.
Today, as General Counsel for the Idaho Board of Medicine and other state health boards, Russ helps remove barriers to care while maintaining strong professional standards. A Captain in the U.S. Army, serving in the Idaho Army National Guard, and board member for CASA of Southwest Idaho, supporting our foster kids, Russ is deeply committed to his faith, family, and the Idaho community he proudly calls home.
