2015
Martinez's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[6]
Homelessness
- Excerpt: "We need to set up a city run homeless shelter and some other resources to get these men and women back on their feet again. There are many military veterans who have served their country living on our streets. The city government needs to do a better job in handling the problems that create a homeless population in the first place, like lack of decent paying jobs and affordable housing."
Veterans
- Excerpt: "I believe that it is the duty of the local government, wherever they may be in this whole country, to take care of veterans first and foremost. If they push the issue on to the state government it causes stress for the whole state, which will eventually push it off to the national government like everything else."
City council districts
- Excerpt: "The Bench, West Bench, and Downtown do not get their fare share of representation in the City Council while the North End and Foothills area has more of a say in Boise politics. I believe Boise needs to be turned into six equally proportioned districts, one for each council seat."
