IDAHO FALLS – Two longtime Bonneville County Commissioners will not be seeking re-election.
Roger Christensen, the county’s longest-serving commissioner, and Bryon Reed, are stepping down at the end of the year. Christensen, who has been in office since 1995, will finish his eighth term in December. Reed was first elected in 2016 and is finishing his second term.
In an interview with EastIdahoNews.com, Christensen says 30 years “felt like a good time to retire.”
“I survived eight contested challenges and didn’t know if there were going to be anymore,” Christensen says. “I’d like to spend more time in other service areas and chasing grandkids.”
The 71-year-old Idaho Falls man isn’t planning to run for office again but says he would like to be more involved in church service.
Reed says he planned to serve no more than eight years when he initially decided to run. He’s staying true to his commitment and is looking forward to getting back to his own business endeavors.
Reed, 65, of Osgood, is the brother of Reed’s Dairy owner Alan Reed. The dairy and the farm split into two operations in the 1980s and Bryon took over the farming operation.
“When I became commissioner, my son, Derek, took over management of the farm,” Bryon explains. “I’m at a point now that I want to … help however I can on our growing farm.”
