POCATELLO — With the deadline to file for candidacy ending Friday, here is a list of candidates running for contested races in this year’s primary election.

Each of these seats holds a two-year term. There are Democrats running in all of races for District 28 and District 29, and one running in District 27, but none of those races are contested.
