What People Say

Thomas Campbell, Former Mayor of Idaho Falls

“It is my pleasure to endorse Jim Freeman for the Idaho Falls City Council.  I have known Jim and his family for many years.  He served in the fire department when I was the mayor.  He not only served well, but showed great leadership skills.  He understands the workings of the city and has the kind of personality that allows him to get things done while still being respectful to those who differ in opinion.

There are not many families who have contributed so much to the city as the Freeman family.  I served side by side with Jim Freeman senior and was acquainted with Russ Freeman and the contributions he made.  I am anxious to see another Freeman in a leadership position.

If we are looking for honesty, hard work and knowledge of what needs to be done, then Jim Freeman is the best choice.  What a great opportunity we have to elect this well prepared and deserving man.  Please vote for Jim Freeman.”

Ed Marohn, Former Idaho Falls City Council Member

“As a former Idaho Falls City Councilmember, I can personally attest to the hard work and outstanding aptitude of Jim Freeman. His personal experience as a retired firefighter has been invaluable as he takes a strong leadership role in first-responder matters. I ask you to join me in supporting Jim Freeman for Idaho Falls City Council.”

Ida Hardcastle, Former Idaho Falls City Council Member

“I have known Jim Freeman for many years and have often encouraged him to run for City Council.  I am excited that he is running now and I know he will bring enthusiasm to the Idaho Falls City Council.  When I was on City Council, Jim was with the Idaho Falls Fire Department and he was an excellent employee and leader.  Jim shares my attitude about the importance of the quality of life in Idaho Falls for all citizens.  Please join me and vote for Jim this Election Day, November 7th.”

“Idaho Falls has a long, and in many ways, unique history of investment in the future and providing a wide variety of services effectively and efficiently.  Today, we are the beneficiaries of that tradition.  It is important that we have a city government that continues to look ahead, anticipating and planning for future needs, while maintaining the critical services we have created in the past. I am supporting Jim Freeman for the Idaho Falls City Council because I believe he will continue this proud tradition.”

Anne Voilleque

“Jim has been an active member of this wonderful community all his life. We served together on the Mayor’s Citizen Review Committee for Parks and Recreation starting in 2015. He was extraordinary in his  contributions, knowledge, experiences and the inner workings of this vast city enterprise. On every visit to every department he was met by old friends and work mates. Folks who have known him for decades as a contributor to the growth and beauty of Idaho Falls. His family, his roots and his diligence place him in the most qualified column for a seat on the Idaho Falls City Council. I am so pleased he is in this race. You will not be disappointed in his service and outreach.”

Rob Spear, Executive Director of the Idaho Falls Auditorium District
