Idaho Governor Appoints Kimberly Royer to State House, Replacing John Shirts
Idaho Governor Brad Little on November 13 announced he has appointed Kimberly Royer of Cambridge, Idaho, to replace John Shirts in the Idaho House of Representatives.
Shirts was recently appointed to serve as the U.S. Attorney for Idaho following the retirement of U.S. Attorney Bart Davis. Royer will serve the remainder of Shirts' term as representative for Idaho legislative District 9, Seat A.
Royer brings 25 years of public service and extensive agricultural experience. She recently retired from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Farm Service Agency (FSA), where she served for 25 years, including as a county executive director in Idaho from 2007 to 2021 before moving into a national leadership role as a business process analyst and product owner at the FSA National Office, working to improve agricultural program delivery and modernize federal farm systems.
She also served as a governor-appointed member of the Idaho Sheep and Goat Health Board from 2014 to 2022, including as chair during her final three years, and chaired the Idaho Animal Damage Control Board, overseeing an approximately $800,000 annual budget. A longtime agricultural producer, she is co-owner and operator of Dixie Creek Ranch LLC, a family operation involving beef cattle, Boer goats, alfalfa, dryland crops, and grazing land.
Royer said she is honored by the opportunity to serve the people of Idaho in the Legislature, and that her years working alongside Idaho farmers and ranchers, serving on state boards, and being part of a rural community have given her a deep appreciation for the challenges and opportunities facing the state.
