Constituents from Idaho’s Legislative District 2 have submitted a letter to the Idaho Secretary of State’s Office requesting an investigation into Republican state Sen. Phil Hart’s residency.
Hart, who is in his first term in the Idaho Senate, and has previously served four terms in the Idaho House, is registered at an address in Kellogg. He is running for reelection in the Nov. 5 general election against challenger Tom Hearn, a Saint Maries Democrat.
According to the letter sent by two constituents, Hart’s registered home has been under construction for several years and they believe it is unoccupied.
