Mayoral election in Boise, Idaho
2001 Boise mayoral election
The 2001 Boise mayoral election was held on November 6, 2001, to elect the mayor of Boise, Idaho . Incumbent Mayor Brent Coles ran for re-election to a third term. He was challenged by six opponents, including former State Senator Rod Beck.
On May 23, 2001, city voters approved a $10 million levy to purchase and preserve land in the Boise foothills, which Coles championed, by a wide margin.[ 1] [ 2] [ 3]
Coles ultimately won re-election by a wide margin, receiving 53 percent of the vote to Coles's 27 percent.[ 4]
However, Coles did not end up serving out his full term as Mayor. On February 15, 2003, after he was charged with two misdemeanors for accepting free travel from Blue Cross of Idaho to the 2002 Winter Olympics , he resigned from office.[ 5]
