Why Brad’s running for Mayor
As your next Mayor, I bring a passion for public service and years of experience. My priority is to deliver on the concerns of the citizens of Eagle, such as public safety, infrastructure, and economic development, which will determine the city’s future. My leadership will ensure that Eagle becomes more conducive for people to live, work, and raise a family. I am ready to handle the challenges of our swift expansion and inadequate infrastructure. My assurance to the residents of Eagle is to make decisions that are sound and based on thorough consideration so that the city is equipped to tackle these issues and satisfy the community’s needs.
I am asked why I am running for Mayor. The answer is simple. I want the quality of life that drew me to Eagle in the first place to be a primary focus of the Eagle we are planning for OUR future. The current Mayor doesn’t share that focus and is taking Eagle in the opposite direction. He failed to deliver on many of the promises he made when elected four years ago and would not listen to the people who elected him. His actions and leadership have accelerated Eagle’s growth beyond our ability to accommodate it.

About Craig Kvamme
Craig Kvamme fell in love with Eagle’s downtown area when he moved to the city from Eastern Idaho in 2014. Now, he hopes to preserve its small-town charm and guide Eagle as it grows.
