Wendy's Leadership Vision

Dedicated to community, smart growth, and public safety for Nampa's bright future.

Leadership with Civility, Transparency and Accountability

I believe in civility in leadership and in restoring trust through open, honest communication. Residents deserve transparency in how decisions are made and how their tax dollars are spent.

Public Safety is Non-Negotiable

Supporting the men and women of our police force and fire department is essential to protecting the community we love. As our city grows, we must ensure they have the resources and staffing needed to keep every neighborhood safe.

Smart Growth for a Strong Future

Nampa is growing—let’s guide that growth with vision. I support:

• Downtown revitalization that keeps our historic charm alive while welcoming new energy.

• Industrial and business development that brings quality jobs and long-term investment.

• Policies that strengthen our local business community and make Nampa a place where entrepreneurs can thrive.

Protecting Nampa Values

As we welcome new families and businesses, we must hold fast to the values that built Nampa—community pride, personal responsibility, and service to others. I will fight to protect the character of our neighborhoods while preparing for tomorrow.
