Dom’s faith and life-long conservative principles have always guided him from a young age where he rolled up his sleeves and got to work serving his family and community. Whether it was volunteering time after school to his church’s local second-hand store and food pantry, or serving in a public capacity, Dom’s commitment to improving the quality of life of his community has been unwavering, believing public service as one of the highest forms of giving back to his community. Throughout his various services to his community, Dom has built a profound level of experience not just professionally, but more importantly on a personal level; taking the time to genuinely connect with those he serves and understanding the issues important to them. Proudly coming from humble beginnings, Dom’s ancestry includes a long line of entrepreneurs, farmers, butchers, and homemakers; so the values of independence and hard work have been a part of who he is. As a US-born descendant of Italian immigrants, he is a first generation college graduate having received his Bachelor’s degree from Boise State University achieving much of the American Dream in his family. In 2018, Dom had the incredible honor of being appointed by former Mayor Tammy de Weerd as both the Government Affairs Advisor to the Meridian Mayor’s Youth Advisory Council and as a Commissioner on the Meridian Parks and Recreation Commission.
  • Experience matters, and I am running as the experienced candidate in my race!
  • A proven leader with vision, experience, and a proven track record of results!
  • An advocate for the people who will work hard to bring true representation for Idahoans!
With a background in public policy, the top three areas I'm personally passionate about are:

1. Education
2. Infrastructure & Economic Development
3. Jobs & Economy
4. Healthcare, especially as it relates to Mental Health/Behavioral Health
5. Individual Rights & Liberties
6. Local Control\

7. Environmental Stewardship
1. I look up to my parents and to my family - Each family member in their own way has shaped who I am today, and has taught me a valuable life lesson that I still live by today.
2. My past teachers and educators - They, in cooperation with my parents are responsible for the man I am today. I owe them everything, and continue to aspire to make them proud, and give back in a way, for the investment they made in me throughout my childhood and education career.
Being the first in my family to graduate from a four-year college/university in the United States. As both my parents went to school in Italy, I was the first in my family to receive a college degree in the United States.
My very first job was as a customer sales associate for The Men's Wearhouse. I was still in college and working to help my parents pay for my education so that I would graduate college debt free. I held that role for 3 years.
