Governor Brad Little ordered the lowering of U.S. and State of Idaho flags immediately until sunrise on Monday, March 23 at the Capitol building and state buildings in Canyon County to honor the life and service of Nampa Mayor Rick Hogaboam who died tragically during a medical emergency at a townhall meeting Wednesday.
"We are heartbroken over the sudden passing of Nampa Mayor Rick Hogaboam. Rick served with a genuine heart for public service and an unwavering commitment to the people of Nampa. He cared deeply about his community and worked every day to make it stronger and better for those he served. During this difficult time, our thoughts and prayers are with his family, city staff, and the entire Nampa community as they grieve this tremendous loss," Governor Little said.
