Hi, I’m Jimmy Hallyburton.

For the past 6 years, I’ve had the opportunity to serve my hometown on the Boise City Council.

Working with you has been the honor of a lifetime as we’ve confronted some of the biggest challenges our community has ever faced.

I will forever be inspired by those who dedicate their time, talent, and attention to building a stronger community. If there’s one thing I’ve learned during my years in the nonprofit sector, teaching, and on City Council, it’s that Boise is better when we work together.

District 6

When I was first elected in 2019, Boise City Council seats were “at large,” meaning council members represented the entire city, not a specific geographic district. When I was reelected in 2023, city council voting had been moved to district representation, and I became the representative of the brand-new District 6. For my third term in office, I am excited about the opportunity to continue representing District 6, an area I’ve lived in for the last 17 years, and the area I was born and raised in. (See the interactive map for the district boundaries.)

I am committed to addressing the unique needs and challenges of my diverse district while ensuring every decision I make serves the best interests of all Boiseans.

The Work We’ve Done

I am so proud of the work we’ve done together during my 2 terms on Boise City Council:

  • Developed and adopted the Pathways Master Plan.

  • Adopted Boise’s first Vision Zero Plan and created a Traffic Fatality Review Task Force to reduce and eliminate traffic fatalities.

  • Built 7 new parks, including Primrose Park in NW Boise, and approved an additional 4 future park sites.

  • Helped create and adopted Boise’s Climate Action Plan.

  • Funded and developed Fire Station 13 in NW Boise (opening summer 2025).

  • Constructed 2 large-scale affordable housing developments (100s of units) through public-private partnerships. Approved 2 more coming to the Lusk District soon.

  • Established 8th St as a permanent pedestrian area

  • Established funding and plans to restore Historic Lowell Pool in 2025 and to relocate and build a larger South Pool while preserving historic elements of the old South Pool location.

  • Addressed housing and transportation needs for recently arrived refugees as the Council Liaison to Neighbors United
