Campaign website
Hyndman's campaign website stated the following:
Where I Stand
Canyon County added 16% more people since 2020. That growth brings opportunity — but only if someone is watching out for the people already here. That's my job.
Your Property Taxes Shouldn't Subsidize New Development
When a new subdivision goes in, who pays for the roads, the water, the schools? Right now, too much of that falls on existing homeowners. As a member of Canyon County's Impact Fee Committee, I've seen this problem up close. I'll make sure growth pays its own way — through proper impact fees and responsible budgeting — so your taxes don't go up to build someone else's infrastructure.
Fund Public Safety Like We Mean It
Our jail was built in 1991 for a county one-third this size. Pod 6 is closed. Officers are working in facilities with 1,600+ documented maintenance failures. This isn't a talking point — it's a crisis. As a proud Back the Blue sponsor, I'll prioritize modern facilities that protect both the officers who keep us safe and the public they serve.
Growth Is Welcome — If It's Done Right
I'm not anti-growth. I managed 2,300 head of cattle and opened trade offices on three continents. I know what it takes to build something. But 275,000 people and climbing means we need infrastructure before permits, not after. I'll protect agricultural land, demand that roads and services keep pace with rooftops, and preserve what makes Canyon County worth living in.
