Tom Hally, Former Idaho Falls City Council President

“As someone who had the privilege of serving our community on the Idaho Falls City Council for many years, I know what it takes to lead with integrity, vision, and a deep commitment to public service. That’s why I’m proud to endorse Jim Freeman for re-election to the Idaho Falls City Council.

I served with Jim for several years and he proved himself to be a thoughtful, steady, and collaborative leader. He understands the importance of working with others to find common-sense solutions to complex issues. Under his leadership, Idaho Falls has made critical investments in public safety, infrastructure, and recreation.

I wholeheartedly support Jim Freeman’s re-election, and I encourage Idaho Falls residents to vote for him. Our city will be in great hands with Jim continuing to serve.”
