After 26 years working for the Idaho Falls Fire Department and nearly eight years on City Council, I have an excellent understanding of the issues facing our city. We have accomplished numerous advances during my time on Council including a new Law Enforcement Complex, additions to the Idaho Falls Zoo, expansion of the Idaho Falls Regional Airport, the build-out of our fiber network, restoration and expansion of the Frontier Center for the Performing Arts, and many others—but there are many needs still unaddressed. I am confident that I can continue to be a driving force to move Idaho Falls forward.

Since retiring from the Idaho Falls Fire Department in 2012, I have been very involved in civic service and volunteered in many roles prior to my Council service including serving on the Mayor’s Citizen Review Committee and Golf Advisory Board. During my eight years on the City Council, I have served in leadership positions including as the Chair of the Bonneville Metropolitan Planning Organization. I remain committed to bringing insight and common-sense ideas from the people to the Idaho Falls City Council.

I am a steadfast advocate of our Police and Fire Departments. I consider public safety our foremost mission as a city. I also support sensible economic development and will work to keep Idaho Falls progressing as a medical hub and energy leader. I strongly support the College of Eastern Idaho and a robust Parks and Recreation system as our citizens consistently express how important this is to them. I believe our cultural and arts community enhance our quality of life and add to the vibrancy of our city. Our future is bright, and we can continue to have a beautiful, livable city if we elect leaders willing to address today’s needs while planning for the future.

Please vote November 4, 2025 and help me continue a legacy of service.
