Antonio Bommarito

Here We Have Idaho

Antonio Bommarito, a native of the Boise Bench, is running for Ada County Highway District (ACHD) Commissioner in District 1. He attended Boise High and graduated from Boise State University with a degree in Business and Information Technology Management. Antonio furthered his education by earning a Master's in Conflict Resolution.

Having deep roots in the community, Antonio is driven by a commitment to improve the quality of life for residents. His candidacy is inspired by personal experiences with increasing traffic congestion in the Boise area. Noticing that his travel time to the capital has more than doubled in recent years despite the neighborhood's minimal changes, Antonio began to investigate the underlying causes. His research revealed that nearly 40% of ACHD's budget is allocated to non-traffic related activities, and that changes to traffic light timings have exacerbated congestion.

Antonio is determined to bring a balanced approach to the commission, prioritizing both safety and efficiency to alleviate the traffic issues plaguing the community. He recognizes that the current commission's decisions have not only increased traffic times but have also led to higher fuel consumption, effectively stealing time and resources from residents. With practical solutions and a focus on getting residents back on the road, Antonio Bommarito is committed to fixing traffic and enhancing the overall traffic flow in District 1.
