Local municipal elections took place on November 2nd, 2021. 13 of BRR’s 15 endorsements won their elections.
Some of the races were very close and our support certainly played a role in helping our endorsed candidates pull out close wins. That said, it’s important to remember we consistently focus our endorsements on candidates who/whom we believe are best for BRR and the community, not just who is most likely to win their race. We have a firm belief that BRR should be consistent and stand up for our issues, even if that means taking a loss or two.
Below is a list of our endorsements and the outcome:
Boise City Council Seat 1 – Luci Willits WON
Boise City Council Seat 3 – Greg MacMillan LOST to Lisa Sánchez
Boise City Council Seat 5 – Holli Woodings WON
