"Becky Young is a former president of the Boise School District's Parent Community Advisory Council, a parental panel established in 2003. As a result, Young is no stranger to the legislative process; PCAC lobbied a few years ago for changes in a formula the state uses to distribute federal education dollars.

We'd expect Young to be a strong advocate for public education, pushing for goals, such as reduced class sizes that could use champions in the House GOP Caucus." The Statesman Editorial Board stated.

The Statesman further commented, "Becky Young's opponent, King hasn't been very productive in two years in the Legislature, however, and we're unconvinced we'd see much improvement in a second term. Based on Young's upside, we give the nod to Young."
