As Ada County Commissioner, I’ve Worked Hard for the People of Idaho

Historic Tax Cuts & Property Tax Reductions!

I’ve kept my promise to deliver on property tax relief.
For the first time in over 40 years, Ada County cut your taxes.
We’ve saved the taxpayers millions of dollars and have kept property taxes under control, while maintaining the high-quality level of service residents expect.
Meanwhile, I’ve fought for churches and charities to keep their exemptions, and I stand up for individuals fighting against unfair assessments.

“You introduce a new species in the ecosystem, and they don’t have any natural predators, and they tend to get out of control really fast,” Ryan Davidson said. Davidson is an Ada County commissioner who wants rats added to Idaho’s invasive species list, giving counties more tools to take action.

Wednesday night’s discussion brought elected officials from Ada County and each of its six cities, a pair of state legislators, Department of Agriculture and Central District Health representatives, a spokesman for the Idaho Pest Management Association and dozens of interested members of the public to the Ada County Courthouse for what Ada County Commissioner Ryan Davidson described as a “historic” meeting — the first time he remembers seeing every city represented in the same room at the same time.
“We all have to ask ourselves, do we want to live in a rat city?” Davidson asked. “Do we want to live in a rat county? Because if we don’t get a handle on this, that’s what Ada County is going to be.”
A Brand-New Park to Replace the Abandoned Horse Racing Track


The famous Les Bois racetrack at Expo Idaho has been a ghost-town since 2018, when the Legislature eliminated horse racing.
One of my proudest accomplishments has been finding a way to build a new park for Ada County residents to enjoy, using NO LOCAL TAX DOLLARS!
I’ve been committed to making the Park at Expo Idaho the most impressive park in all of Ada County. While other officials wanted to sell off the property and move the Western Idaho Fair, I stood for the people. Ada County is growing rapidly, and we need to preserve our remaining green space for our families.
The Park at Expo Idaho is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to give back to the community, and I’m proud to be a part of it.
We had our Grand Opening in October 2026!

The commissioners have big plans still to come: Commissioner Ryan Davidson announced a 50-year time capsule, which he said will be buried in December. “Imagine what people will see and think in 2076, when they open our sealed metal box and look at the pictures from today. … I’m hoping to be there for that,” Davidson quipped, to laughter from the assembled crowd.
Protecting Ada County Kids When They’re Most Vulnerable

We work hard to keep children out of jail. Last year we cut the ribbon on an innovative new juvenile facility known as “The Bridge.” It’s a place where law enforcement can bring kids to get them help instead of taking them to jail. Trained professionals work with them and their parents to correct the bad behavior and give them a “bridge” to a better future.

At our main detention facility, we make sure troubled kids get the help they need, while they are held accountable for their actions. Once released, our probation officers continue to work with them and their families in order to provide better outcomes.
I voted to make major improvements to the aging building, including a new recreation yard, which is being completed with NO local tax dollars!
