The Nampa City Council election will look a little different this year. For the first time in the city’s history, voters will choose city council members who must live and run in their own newly created districts.
State law now requires that every city with 100,000 or more residents must elect its council by district, not at large. July 2022 estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau peg Nampa’s population at nearly 111,000 residents.
In December 2022, Nampa adopted the new map breaking the city into six districts with 16,000 to 17,000 residents each.
Five candidates are running in District 6, which runs from West Orchard Avenue to Ustick Road and down to West Roosevelt Avenue. The candidates have diverse views on addressing growth and the needs of the community such as traffic and public safety.
Districts 1, 3 and 5 will be up for election in November 2025. Candidates elected to the council serve four-year terms.
The Idaho Statesman asked the nine candidates for Nampa City Council questions, and their responses are presented below, unedited. Dale Reynolds, incumbent in Nampa City Council District 4, did not respond.
