Born and raised in southeastern Idaho, Kim Jackman has spent her life rooted in the rural communities and agricultural traditions that shape District 28. She and her husband of 31 years raised three children here and recently welcomed their first grandbaby—her daily reminder of why strong schools, strong families, and strong communities matter.

For more than 25 years, Kim has worked directly with Idaho families—as a home‑health and hospice social worker, as a Community Resource Worker in the Pocatello/Chubbuck School District, and now as a Community School Coordinator and Early Learning Collaborative co‑manager in American Falls, where agriculture is the backbone of daily life. Her work has taken her into homes, classrooms, and community spaces across rural Idaho, giving her a clear understanding of the challenges families face and the solutions that actually help.

Kim also serves in regional leadership roles, including Chair of the Region 6 Children’s Mental Health Committee and Vice President of the TLC Learning Center Board. Her career has been defined by collaboration, problem‑solving, and a deep commitment to ensuring every Idaho child and family has the chance to thrive.

Kim is running for Idaho District 28A to bring common sense, balance, and a strong voice for rural families to the Statehouse. She will prioritize education, strengthening families, affordability, and support for agriculture, ensuring that policy decisions reflect the real needs of the people who live and work in southeastern Idaho. Her focus is simple: practical solutions, respectful leadership, and a Legislature that listens to the people it serves.
