Raúl Rafael Labrador (born December 8, 1967) is an American lawyer and politician. He has been the 33rd attorney general of Idaho since 2023. He is a member of the Republican Party. He was the U.S. representative for Idaho's 1st congressional district from 2011 to 2019 and chaired the Idaho Republican Party from 2019 to 2020.[1] He was also a member of the Idaho House of Representatives from 2006 to 2010.
In 2014, Labrador ran against California U.S. Representative Kevin McCarthy for the role of House Majority leader, where he lost the election to McCarthy.[2][3] In 2015, Labrador became one of the nine founding members of the House Freedom Caucus, a right-wing congressional caucus.
Labrador ran for his party's nomination for governor in the 2018 election. He finished second in the Republican primary to Lieutenant Governor Brad Little, who went on to win the election.[4]
