Jeff Alldridge for Idaho Falls Mayor.
Respecting our past.
Directing our future.
Idaho Falls deserves leadership that puts families first, manages growth with care, and restores a city government that listens and works with its people.
After 12 years of the same approach, it’s time for a fresh start—not a disconnected agenda. I’m stepping forward not as a politician, but as your neighbor—ready to listen, ready to connect.
Let’s honor what makes Idaho Falls special, fix what needs fixing, and move forward together.

My Vision for Idaho Falls
My focus is on decisions rooted in the needs of those who already call Idaho Falls home—guided by three clear priorities and practical solutions.
Families First
Strong families are the heart of a strong community. When they thrive, Idaho Falls thrives.
Paths to Homeownership
Open paths to homeownership—so more families can build equity and put down roots, not just see more high-density rentals.
Safe Streets, Strong Neighborhoods
Prioritize public safety and foster neighborhoods where people know and look out for each other.
Parks that are Fun!
Safe, practical spaces families actually use—from playgrounds to free recreation.
Strategic Growth
Strategic growth means growing without losing our values and community character.
Protect Neighborhoods
Stop surprise high-density projects next to established neighborhoods and prevent zoning that doesn’t fit.
Infrastructure First
Idaho Falls has been stuck playing catch-up on roads, utilities, and safety services. Growth should never outpace the basics—we need infrastructure in place before approvals, not years behind.
Accountable Development
Developers already contribute through impact fees, but the city isn’t putting those funds to work where the impacts actually occur. By working with community-minded developers, we can keep growth from disrupting the quality of life in our neighborhoods.
Common-Sense Leadership
Practical, transparent leadership rooted in everyday life—not political trends.
Listen First
Put residents and local businesses at the center of every decision. A leader’s job is to listen—even when we disagree—and build trust by showing respect.
Transparent Priorities
Transparency isn’t just publishing documents; it’s creating clear pathways for citizens to engage, ask questions, and understand why decisions are made.
Ask “Why” Before “How”
Policies should start with necessity: do they serve the community’s best interests? If not, we shouldn’t move forward.
Let’s Connect
Great leadership starts with listening. Share your story, concerns, and vision for our city.
Ready to Get Involved?
Whether over coffee, at a neighborhood gathering, or with your community group, I want to hear from you. And if you’d like to volunteer or support our grassroots campaign, together we can keep Idaho Falls a place we’re proud to call home.
Endorse JeffThe Community-First Priority Framework
| 1. | Current Residents | Families and individuals who live, work, and invest in Idaho Falls today |
| 2. | Current Businesses | Employers and local entrepreneurs who strengthen our economy and culture |
| 3. | Neighbors and Visitors | Guests and regional supporters who contribute through tourism, shopping, and services |
| 4. | Future Businesses | New businesses and services that create jobs, expand options, and add value to the community |
| 5. | Future Residents | Those who may one day join our community—without eroding its character |
As mayor, every major decision—budgets, zoning, development, city services—will be guided by a simple test:
Does this put today’s residents and businesses first?
If a policy prioritizes future interests at the expense of today’s community, it doesn’t pass. Growth and opportunity matter, but never at the cost of the people and neighborhoods who already make Idaho Falls strong.
That’s my promise: thoughtful decisions, clear priorities, and Idaho Falls First.
Meet Jeff Alldridge
I’m a husband, father of four, and your neighbor. My family chose Idaho Falls because it still reflects the family-centered values my wife and I grew up with—values disappearing in much of the country. We didn’t move here by chance; we made a deliberate decision to invest our lives in this community. Since then, we’ve been deeply involved—serving as Troopmaster for Trail Life USA, volunteering at local events, and working alongside community organizations and non-profits.
Professionally, I’ve led initiatives and collaborated with teams across the globe—solving complex challenges, navigating high-stakes decisions, and balancing competing priorities. That means knowing when to champion bold ideas and when to say “no” for the good of the whole. Those are the same skills Idaho Falls needs in its mayor.
I never set out to run for political office. But I believe in transparency, accountability, and keeping citizens—not special interests—at the center of every decision. I’m running because I love this city and want growth that strengthens, rather than erases, the character of the Idaho Falls we chose to call home.
