Or not.

They probably assume, with some evidence to support their assumption, 
that Idahoans generally will support the national Republican candidates 
regardless.  On the other hand, in the local election district, 
assumptions about the party of winning candidates are not warranted, and 
so building name recognition for local candidates makes sense for any party.

Here are some Idaho polling results from July, 2016, with a 4 percent 
margin of error:
