Don West was elected to the Shelley City Council in 2023 and is honored to serve the community he calls home. Raised in a small farming town in Central Washington, Don understands the values of hard work, neighborly support, and community pride, values that are also at the heart of Shelley. He moved to Idaho Falls in 1979, and in 1995 married Julie Hammer, a Shelley native. After living in Utah for over a decade, Don and Julie returned to Shelley in 2007 to raise their family. They have four children and four grandchildren, and take pride in having raised their two youngest, Hunter and Hannah, here in the Shelley community.

Don's professional journey in Information Technology began in Utah, where he played a pivotal role in managing the financial division's computer network for an automotive giant and spearheaded their disaster recovery planning. He later transitioned to the financial sector, accumulating over 25 years of expertise in designing, building and securing data networks for multiple financial institutions, ensuring the financial institutions operated efficiently, securely, and in compliance with governmental regulations.

Grateful for the opportunity to raise his family in Shelley, Don is committed to protecting its small-town character while helping guide thoughtful growth and improvements that will benefit both current residents and future generations.

Sean Kress and his wife, Brooke, moved their family back to their Eastern Idaho roots in 2023 and are excited to call Shelley home. They’re raising five children here along with their lovable (and admittedly lazy) Bernedoodle, Griffen. Sean brings his experience as a business leader and founder of AscendIQ Partners to the Shelley City Council, where he’s committed to supporting the community’s growth while preserving its small-town values.

Sean Kress was sworn in as Council Member Seat #3 on November 13, 2024.
