I’m running for Nampa City Council because I believe District 5 deserves a representative who listens—someone who speaks with the people, not at them. Like you, I care about the day-to-day realities we all face, because I live them too.

Many of us moved to or stayed in Nampa because we value its small-town spirit. We want to feel safe in our neighborhoods, to see our community grow responsibly, and to trust that city government is working for us—not for outside interests.

These values are at the heart of my campaign. But here’s what sets me apart:

• I’m not taking donations.

• I’m not seeking endorsements.

• I have no ties to special interests—and I don’t want any.

The only thing I’m asking for is your vote.

I believe that if we truly want to preserve Nampa’s character, we need leaders who are grounded in the community—not in campaign contributions or political favors. Running this way might make it harder to spread the word, but I believe it's the right way to serve.

If elected, I’ll be accountable only to the people of Nampa. That’s a promise.

This campaign is built on honesty, common sense, and a commitment to put people before politics. If that’s the kind of leadership you want for District 5, I’d be honored to earn your vote.
