Filer to serve as Idaho’s ‘Capital for a Day’ with Gov. Little, state officials

The south central Idaho city of Filer will serve as the host of Idaho’s next “Capital for a Day” event on Thursday.

Capital for a Day events feature Gov. Brad Little and many of the state’s agency directors traveling to smaller communities throughout Idaho. During the events, the governor and agency heads discuss state issues and programs and conduct an open forum for local residents to ask questions or make suggestions.

“It is an honor to bring my next Capital for a Day to Filer,” Little said. “I look forward to hearing directly from the people of Twin Falls County about what matters most to them. These conversations help us better understand how we can work together to make state government more responsive and effective.”

Little’s predecessor, former Gov. Butch Otter, also conducted regular Capital for a Day events around the state during his three terms in office. 

The first stop: 10 a.m. to noon at TruLeap Technologies, located at 400 Main St. in Filer

The second stop: 1:15-3 p.m. at Filer High School, located at 3915 Wildcat Way

• Department of Water Resources Director Mat Weaver
• Department of Insurance Director Dean Cameron
• Department of Health and Welfare Director Juliet Charron
