CANYON COUNTY CLERK ISSUES A PLANNED RESIGNATION FOLLOWING ELECTION AS NAMPA MAYOR

Caldwell, ID– The Canyon County Board of Commissioners has received a formal written notice from Canyon County Clerk Rick Hogaboam announcing his intention to resign effective January 5, 2026, after his successful election as the Mayor of Nampa on November 4, 2025. Clerk Hogaboam’s last working day as Canyon County Clerk will be January 4, 2026.

Per Idaho Code 59-906(2), his notice of a future vacancy starts the statutory process for finding a candidate to fill the position of Canyon County Clerk. When an elected county officer (not a commissioner) gives a written notice highlighting a specific date of future resignation, the County Central Committee of the same political party is authorized to provide a list of three names to the Board of County Commissioners before the effective resignation date.

Since Clerk Hogaboam is a registered Republican, the responsibility for providing three nominations must come from the Canyon County Republican Central Committee. The Board will work with the Central Committee to assign a successor, with the appointment starting the day after the office is vacated.

“It has been my great joy and honor to serve as the County Clerk for nearly two years. My departure is bittersweet,” said Clerk Hogaboam.  As he reflected on his time here in the County, he showed appreciation to the current County Commissioner, Elected Officials, and County Staff; “It has been a personal pleasure and professionally rewarding to work with the current commissioners and all the elected officers and employees at Canyon County. I look forward to healthy collaboration as I transition to my new role.”

The Canyon County Board of Commissioners will coordinate with the Canyon County Republican Central Committee in accordance with Idaho law to ensure the timely appointment of a qualified successor.
