## 2018 Lieutenant Governor's race

Nonini announced October 9, 2017 on social media that he will run for Lt. Governor of Idaho in 2018. He filed with the Secretary of State's office October 10, 2017.

On March 3, 2018, Nonini reportedly nodded when asked at a candidates forum if the punishment for getting an abortion should include the death penalty. However, he has denied ever having nodded in agreement. "Prosecutions have always been focused on the abortionist," he said later, but such a law and "...the threat of prosecution, would dramatically reduce abortion. That is my goal."

Nonni drew 15% of the primary election vote, placing fourth among Republicans seeking the office.
