Stewart Hyndman

Stewart Hyndman is a University of Idaho graduate, small business owner, and lifelong conservative who has spent decades serving Idaho — from managing one of the state's largest cattle operations to opening international trade offices across the globe.

Stewart began his career as an associate professor and extension agent at the University of Idaho, advising on livestock management. He went on to manage Warm Springs Ranch, the third-largest cow/calf operation in Idaho with approximately 2,300 head.

In state government, Stewart rose from inspector to State Marketing Director at the Idaho Department of Agriculture, where he opened Idaho trade offices in Taipei, Guadalajara, and Shanghai — negotiating international trade deals and phytosanitary agreements affecting millions in commerce.

As an entrepreneur, Stewart has run a potato export company, a restaurant, a grocery store, a custom-bonded warehouse, and for the past 20 years, his Farmers Insurance agency in Nampa. He understands budgets, risk, and what it takes to build something that lasts.

Stewart serves as Idaho GOP State Committeeman for Canyon County and is a proud sponsor of Back the Blue Idaho. He has chaired the National Wild Turkey Federation's Southwest Idaho Chapter, led Business Networks International in Nampa, and served on Canyon County's Impact Fee Committee.

He and his wife Dianne have four adult children and eight grandchildren. When he's not working, you'll find him competing in triathlons, hunting, shooting sporting clays, or fly fishing.
