Lori McCann for Idaho Senate

Building Opportunity. Supporting Agriculture. Strengthening Idaho’s Future.

About Lori McCann

I am a proud lifelong Idahoan (with nearly 50 years in beautiful Nez Perce County), born in Portland, Oregon, but truly at home in Lewiston since my high school days. A graduate of Lewiston High School and the University of Idaho, where I earned my Bachelor of Science in Education, I’ve dedicated my life to serving others through education, family business, and public service.

For over 15 years, I served as program coordinator and professor in the Paralegal and Legal Assisting programs at Lewis-Clark State College, where I had the privilege of helping students build strong careers in law and justice. Alongside my husband, Bill, I’ve spent more than 44 years managing our family enterprises—including his law practice, our cattle ranch and timber operations through McCann Ranch & Livestock Co., and our commercial and residential real estate development and rentals. These experiences have given me a deep appreciation for Idaho’s agricultural roots, small business challenges, and the importance of strong, practical policy.

As a wife, mother of four, and grandmother to 11 wonderful grandchildren, family remains at the heart of everything I do. I’m deeply committed to my community, having served on boards including the Tammany School Board (past member), past president of the Idaho Association for Legal Professionals, current or past leadership roles with the Lewis-Clark State College Foundation Board, Idaho Community Foundation, and Idaho Business for Education.

Since 2021, I’ve had the honor of representing District 6A in the Idaho House of Representatives, where I fight for stronger education funding (especially for our rural schools), property tax relief, thriving agriculture, and the Idaho way of life we all cherish. Whether it’s supporting our educators, protecting family farms and ranches, or building a brighter future for the next generation, I bring my diverse background and practical perspective to every decision.

I’m grateful for the opportunity to serve and look forward to continuing to work for a stronger, more prosperous Idaho.
