| Info | Ron J. Twilegar is an attorney from Boise, Idaho. Twilegar was the 1990 Democratic nominee for the open United States Senate seat in Idaho vacated by Jim McClure. He was defeated by Republican Congressman Larry Craig.
Prior to his Senate run Twilegar was a member of the Idaho Legislature, serving in the Idaho State House of Representatives from 1975 to 1976 and the Idaho State Senate from 1977 to 1982.
Twilegar ran unopposed in the primary for Boise County prosecutor and was unopposed in the general election. Although he lived in Ada County and did not have the necessary bar license, Twilegar ran in the 2008 primary in both Boise County and Camas County, seeking to ensure that he would achieve office in one of them. He won both primaries but chose to withdraw from the Camas County ballot.[2] He was investigated by the Idaho Attorney General's office for failure to meet the legal residency requirement in Boise County.[3] but was found to qualify for election.
Twilegar's wife, Jackie Groves Twilegar, is the 2006 Democratic nominee for Idaho State Controller.
