Thank You

On November 4, I was humbled to receive the most votes in the mayoral race. While that showing reflected broad support, no candidate earned a majority, which led to a runoff election in December. The final stretch became more intense, and ultimately the outcome was not what we had hoped for.

Even so, I remain deeply grateful.

This campaign was never just about one election or one result. It was about giving voice to a growing number of residents who want thoughtful change in how our city is led. Leadership that listens first, puts families and neighborhoods at the center, and plans for growth in a way that strengthens our community.

Throughout this process, I had countless conversations with neighbors, families, business owners, and first-time participants in local politics. Those conversations reaffirmed something important: despite differing views, we all want the same thing at the core—a healthy, prosperous Idaho Falls where people feel heard, respected, and invested in the future.

I am thankful for every volunteer, supporter, and voter who believed in that vision. Your encouragement mattered more than you know.

I'll be sharing more in the days ahead about what comes next. For now, please know how sincerely grateful I am for your trust, your engagement, and your desire to see Idaho Falls continue to move forward… together.
