Kohl for Idaho

Josh was born and raised in Idaho with the Idahoan values of independent thinking, traditional conservatism, and being true to one’s word. As a teen Josh and his family were deeply involved in serving others through Search and Rescue. The desire to serve while in college, led him into Wildland Firefighting where he developed a love for the unique beauty of our state as he traveled throughout Idaho and other Western States protecting forests, homes, and people.

Throughout his firefighting career, Josh got to meet and know many great people who too often feel their voices are not heard. After graduating from the University of Idaho as a mechanical engineer specializing in robotics, Josh settled down in Twin Falls, where he enjoys paddle boarding, dirt biking, and CrossFit competitions.

The desire to serve and protect the broader community has continues to run deep in Josh. In 2024, he answered the call to help improve Twin Falls state deligation by running for State Senate against one of the most liberal "Republicans" in the state. He won in a landslide.

When not working on politics, Josh enjoys life with his wife Kenney and their dog bear. Their hobbies include working out together, improving their homestead, and volunteering at church.

However, this nice way of life only works when it is defended. That is why Josh Kohl is continuing to work to serve Twin Falls by running again to represent District 25.
