About Brent

I’m Brent Reinke, and I’m running for the Idaho State Senate because I believe the Magic Valley’s future depends on practical leadership rooted in local values.

I was born and raised in Twin Falls County, and my wife Carla and I built our family and raised our five sons here. Many people know us from MR. B’s — the family business we started in Filer and later expanded to Buhl, and from the handmade ice cream cones and food we’ve served for decades at the Twin Falls County Fair.

I’ve had the honor of serving our communities for more than three decades in city, county, and state government. My experience includes serving as a Filer City Council member, Twin Falls County Commissioner, and Director of both the Idaho Department of Juvenile Corrections and the Idaho Department of Correction. In each role, I’ve worked to improve public safety, support families, and make government more effective and accountable.

What drives me is simple: faith, family, and service. As a lifelong Republican, I believe in conservative values that put community first, protect taxpayers, and strengthen opportunities for the next generation. Right now, our region faces critical issues — from managing growth responsibly, to ensuring public safety, to planning for the future needs of our families and businesses.

I bring proven leadership and a deep connection to the people of District 24. My focus is on finishing important projects already underway, while preparing for the challenges ahead.
