U.S. Congress

Minnick was the 1996 Democratic nominee for United States Senate in Idaho. He was defeated by the Republican incumbent, Larry Craig [http://www.sos.idaho.gov/elect/rsltgn96.htm Idaho General Election Results] "Office of the Secretary of State", November 5, 1996, accessed 6 January 2008] .

Minnick ran unopposed in the May 27, 2008, Democratic primary in the Idaho 1st Congressional District. An expected primary challenge by 2006 nominee Larry Grant was averted when Grant withdrew from the race and endorsed Minnick the previous month.
