Idaho Falls deserves leadership that puts families first, manages growth with care, and brings common sense back to city government.
"After 12 years of the same leadership approach, Idaho Falls deserves a genuine fresh start—not just a familiar face with new campaign promises. The choices we make today will echo for generations. I'm stepping forward—not as a politician, but as a neighbor who loves this community and believes it's worth protecting. Let's honor what makes Idaho Falls special, fix what needs fixing, and chart a future our families can be proud of—together."
I'm a husband, father of four, business leader with years of experience managing global teams, and your neighbor. My family chose to put down roots in Idaho Falls because of the values, friendliness, and community spirit that make this city one-of-a-kind. I'm running for mayor to safeguard those strengths, manage growth responsibly, and make sure the needs of today's residents always come first.
My experience—leading teams, solving complex challenges, and earning results—has shown me that real leadership starts with listening and ends with action. I bring no political baggage—just transparent, accountable, and approachable leadership focused on putting our community first.
My Vision for Idaho Falls
I'm committed to decisions anchored in the real needs of those who already call Idaho Falls home—guided by three clear priorities and practical solutions.
Families First
The foundation of Idaho Falls isn't buildings or roads—it's families. When families thrive, our whole community benefits.
Champion Homeownership
Help more young and working families build roots by supporting affordable starter homes—not just more high-density rentals.
Safe Streets & Strong Community
Prioritize law enforcement, and foster neighborhoods where we know and look out for each other.
Parks That Work for Families
Create parks and rec spaces that are inclusive, accessible, and designed for actual family life—not just to check a box or follow the latest trend.
Smart Growth
Growth is inevitable, but reckless development isn't. Idaho Falls deserves thoughtful expansion that enhances our community rather than changing its character.
Infrastructure Comes First
Roads, water, and public safety should be in place before approving new development—never the other way around.
Protect Neighborhoods
Stop rezoning stable neighborhoods for high-density projects that don't fit.
Growth With Accountability
Require new development to provide the infrastructure and resources it will need—without creating headaches for existing residents.
Common Sense Leadership
Idaho Falls doesn't need trendy experiments or campaign promises from those who helped create our current challenges. We need practical solutions that reflect who we are and how we actually live.
Question "Why" Before "How"
Before implementing any policy, we'll ask why it's needed and who it truly serves.
Listen First
Always make room for resident and local business voices before any outside interests.
Transparent Priorities
Clearly explain not only what decisions are being made, but why—so you always see the priorities guiding city leadership.
The Community-First Priority Framework
Priority levels for community decision-making
1.
Current Residents
The families, neighbors, and individuals who are Idaho Falls today
2.
Current Businesses
Local employers providing jobs and community life
3.
Neighbors and Visitors
Guests and regional neighbors who support our economy through commerce, services, and tourism
4.
Future Businesses
New employers considering Idaho Falls
5.
Future Residents
Those who may call Idaho Falls home someday
As mayor, every plan will start with these clear priorities—so you always know who comes first, and how decisions are made.
How It Works: Every major decision—budgets, zoning, development, city services—must pass a simple test: Does it put current residents and businesses first?
If a proposal would help future interests at the expense of today's community, it fails the test. Growth and fresh opportunity matter, but never at the expense of the families and neighborhoods that already make Idaho Falls great.
That's my promise: thoughtful decisions, clear priorities, and Idaho Falls first—always.

Why Your Vote Matters
In Idaho Falls, every single vote makes a difference. Out of nearly 70,000 residents, fewer than 10,000 usually vote in city elections. That small group sets the course for everyone's lives.
This election offers Idaho Falls a rare opportunity: genuine change versus continuity with new messaging. The choice is between someone who helped create our current situation and someone who will bring fresh perspective to city leadership.
On November 4th, don't leave your city's future to chance. This is your opportunity to make sure Idaho Falls reflects the values—and priorities—of the people who live here. Your vote determines whether Idaho Falls continues down the same path or chooses a genuinely different direction—one that puts families first, manages growth responsibly, and brings transparency to city government.
