The questionnaires asked candidates to explain their positions on a range of issues facing the city, including whether Nampa should consider transitioning to a city manager form of government, whether they would support levy overrides for police and infrastructure funding, how the city should address aging infrastructure and growth, and how they would work with the City Council.
On June 8, the Nampa City Council voted 4-2 to appoint former City Councilman Darl Bruner as mayor. Bruner will serve until the position appears on the ballot in November 2027.
