Jim Rice is a Republican Idaho State Senator representing District 10 since his March 1, 2012 appointment by Idaho Governor Butch Otter. Rice was elected to the seat in November 2012.
Rice graduated from Melba High School, attended Brigham Young University and earned his JD from William Howard Taft University.
When Senator John McGee resigned his seat after allegations of sexual assault, the Legislative District 10 Republican Central Committee met to fill the vacancy in the Senate seat, sending three names in order of preference to Governor Butch Otter: Rice, Brandon Hixon, and Jarom Wagoner, all of Caldwell. Governor Otter appointed Rice to serve the remainder of McGee's term.
From 2012-2014, he served on the Transportation Committee.
