Re-Elect Sandy White to Hayden City Council
Nov. 4th

Transparency • Accountability • Good Governance

Transparency

Public records should be easy to find and not hidden behind red tape. That’s why I’ve pushed for all meetings to be video recorded and placed on YouTube, and for minutes and ordinances to be available online.
Executive sessions should be rare, brief, and never a substitute for open discussion.
I helped pass HB172, which fixed misuse of consent agendas in Hayden and across Idaho, ensuring individual council members can pull something out of the consent agenda and not stay locked in.

Accountability

I will defend private property rights by stopping the misuse of the Future Land Use Map to rezone property without an owner’s consent.
Elected law enforcement is important to public safety. The Sheriff’s contract involves millions of taxpayer dollars — I want to ensure this process is transparent and accountable to the people.
HURA (Urban Renewal) is run by unelected board members who control millions in tax dollars with little citizen input. In its last four years, I will work to oversee its spending and make sure it closes responsibly.

Good Governance

Meetings should be professional, courteous, and fair. I support adopting a procedures manual and using parliamentary rules so all members operate on equal footing.
Budgets must stay balanced and focused on essential services like public safety.

We’re a community that connects, cares, and prays together. I am so greateful that I also have

The Art of Voting "No"

In local government, there’s an art to voting “no.” Some people think a “no” vote means you’re being difficult or uncooperative. I see it differently. To me, a “no” vote is often a matter of principle, accountability, and careful consideration. It means I’ve read the proposal, asked the tough questions, and found that something doesn’t serve the people of Hayden as well as it should. Some people I know have never voted "no" — and while that might sound nice on the surface, it
