Ada Co. Refines Map for Commission Elections with Latest Census Data

Depending on where you live, you may soon be represented by a new Ada County Commissioner.
This week, Ada County Commissioners approved a new district map dividing the county into three districts following the release of 2020 census results. Unlike the City of Boise, Ada County’s district system requires that its three elected are from different parts of the county, but anyone can vote in the three races each year that the seats are up for re-election.

Changes to the map this decade were relatively minor. The biggest change is the continued expansion of Commissioner Ryan Davidson’s district to cover Boise and Garden City further south as the area continues to thrive. There have also been some minor line tweaks to the brim.
“He was too small compared to the other two,” County Clerk Phil McGrane told commissioners. “The southern part of District 1 was where the significant demographic shifts happened, so we needed to make some changes.”
The boundary of District 3, currently represented by Commissioner Kendra Kenyon, slid south in southeast Boise near Harris Ranch and south of the Flying Y. District 3 also slid north in District 2, represented by Commissioner Rod Beck, north of Cherry Lane on the county. extreme west.
