FRED WOOD

Fredrick Leslie Wood III had honorably served as a member of the Idaho House of Representatives since 2006. Wood served as chair of the Health and Welfare Committee until his retirement from office at the end of the 2022 Legislative session. Representative Wood’s impressive policy track record has created real change for Idaho’s children. For this reason, he was chosen as ICAP Primary Legislator in April of 2021.

Representative Wood was raised in Homedale, Idaho, and after his education and military service, moved to Burley in 1977 where he was a practicing physician. When long-time legislator and former Speaker of the Idaho House of Representatives Bruce Newcomb decided to not seek reelection in 2006, Wood entered a four-way race for the Republican nomination which he won. He has run unopposed each term since. He lives in Burley with his amazing wife Amy, and has four children.
