My name is Lori Hickman, and I am running to be Idaho’s next Attorney General. I have never campaigned for anything in my life. But over the last few years, I have been deeply disturbed that our Attorney General has stopped being the advocate for Idahoans that we deserve. Instead, the Office is immersed in right-wing culture wars and diminished by personal politics. By choosing to represent narrow and extreme views, the Attorney General has abandoned a wide spectrum of Idaho interests and lost the trust of the agencies it serves.

This path has tarnished the Office’s sterling reputation built up by past Idaho Attorneys General like Jim Jones, Larry EchoHawk, and Lawrence Wasden. These three — two of whom served as Republicans and one a Democrat — were Attorneys General who were trusted on both sides of the aisle; who followed the Rule of Law wherever it led; and who were not distracted by drama. I will restore this tradition as your next Attorney General.

I bring the legal experience and personal integrity this Office demands. I earned my law degree from BYU’s J. Reuben Clark Law School and began my career as a litigation associate at Latham & Watkins in New York City — one of the world’s most demanding legal environments. I later served as Associate General Counsel at Micron Technology, where I handled complex intellectual property transactions and high-stakes corporate matters. For the past decade, I have worked in Boise representing and advising clients in business, litigation, and intellectual property — including pro bono work in child protection cases, where I have seen firsthand what is at stake when the law is applied with care and conscience.

The Attorney General is the people’s lawyer. That means defending Idaho’s interests — not a political agenda. It means providing sound, independent legal counsel to state agencies, protecting consumers, keeping Idaho communities safe, and upholding the Constitution — even when it is inconvenient. It means being an Attorney General that every Idahoan, regardless of party, can trust.

I am not running because politics is my career. I am running because the law matters to me, Idaho matters to me, and this Office is too important to leave on the path it is on. I will bring professionalism, integrity, and a deep respect for the Rule of Law back to the Office of the Attorney General.

I would be honored to earn your support.
