Boise, Idaho – Governor Brad Little appointed Regina Bayer of Meridian to fill the Senate seat for Legislative District 21.

Bayer’s son, Cliff Bayer, vacated the seat when he accepted the position of Chief of Staff for Congressman Russ Fulcher earlier this month.

Regina Bayer is a small business owner and has more than 30 years of experience as a real estate agent and broker. She was a former president of the Boise Regional REALTORS®.

Regina Bayer’s term began Friday and continues until the next general election when the term of office expires.

“I greatly appreciate Regina’s willingness to step up and serve the people of Idaho and District 21,” Governor Little said. “She shares our vision of making Idaho the place our children and grandchildren want to call home.”
