Idaho House of Representatives

2012

After redistricting in 2012, Gestrin sought the open District 8 Senate seat but was defeated in the May 2012 Republican primary by then-Representative Steven Thayn.

When Representative Ken Roberts was appointed to the Idaho State Tax Commission later in July, the Legislative District 8 Republican Central Committee selected Gestrin to take Roberts' place on the general election ballot for Seat A. The committee also sent three names in order of preference to Governor Butch Otter: Gestrin, Kenny Keene of Emmett, Idaho, and John Blattler of Boise County, Idaho.[2]

Governor Otter appointed Gestrin to serve the remainder of Roberts' term.[3]
