Robert’s Update
Meridian made another top ten list – this time it was #9 on Money Magazine’s top places to live in America. When I see articles like this my first thought is “shh, don’t tell.” But when you consider the methodology used for cities to make the list, we should be proud of this designation!
The magazine used nearly 160,000 different data points including economic health, cost of living, ethnic and economic diversity, public education, income, health and safety, ease of living, amenities and quality of life. Meridian landed in the TOP TEN!
We have a great city but now is a critical time for us. Growth is happening in this valley whether we want it or not. So we need to be strategic and proactive when it comes to planning and working with our partners in order to make sure our future community thrives. I am ready to take on this huge job, to guide the city toward an even brighter future!
And voting begins soon! Absentee voting starts in 12 days! Yes you read that correctly. Now is the time to fill out an absentee voter form. Click here to access the page with every step to get this done, or visit idahovotes.gov to find more voter information.

Thanks to all who hit the pavement with me this past weekend to visit with voters. “Door knocking” has been an amazing way for me to connect with Meridian residents and hear first hand what they love about our community, but also their concerns and questions. I’m planning to add even more “door knocking” events as we get closer to the election. If you’d like to join me, email info@simisonformeridian.com

Five Easy Ways to Help
- If you haven’t made a donation to the campaign yet, we need your help! We want to get 500 people to donate $19 each (yes, that is $38 a couple and counts for 2, as long as we can tell it is from 2 people). You can make a donation by clicking here or by mailing a check, payable to Simison for Meridian, to PO Box 971, Meridian, ID 83680.
- Sign up to receive a yard sign. We will be placing our order soon and want to make sure we order enough. You can email the campaign here with your address, and we will make sure you are added to the list.
- Write a Letter to the Editor. We are already coordinating letters to the editor so we can get them submitted leading up to the election. Email the campaign here and we will follow-up with a very easy template for you to use.
- Sign up to vote absentee. Email the campaign here and we will help you get your ballot early.
- We will have several needs coming up as early as September. We will need teams of people to help put up large signs, deliver yard signs, help call voters, door knock neighborhoods, and so much more. Submit a volunteer form here and show Robert how you are willing to help support his campaign.
