I’m running to protect the interests of small businesses and help our Legislature find solutions to some of our oldest problems. I believe in a lean, smart government that looks for the answers by studying both sides of every issue.
LEGISLATIVE DISTRICT 13, POSITION B
Why I am Running to be Your State Representative
I am an Idaho native and small business owner. I grew up in a conservative household with six siblings. Raised by my parents, George and Shareen Keller, I was taught the value of hard-work and living a Christ-centered life. After graduating from Nampa High School, I served a two-year mission for my church in Argentina. When I returned I continued my education and received my undergraduate from BYU and my dental degree from The UCLA School of Dentistry. In May 2020 I will earn my MBA from Northwest Nazarene University. While studying at UCLA I met my incredible wife Sheree. We have been married for 28 years and have three wonderful children. As a family we enjoy the outdoors, living an active lifestyle, and serving in the community.
For 27 years I’ve owned a small business and have been actively engaged in creating jobs and helping the local economy. My business, Nampa Smiles Dentistry, employs forty-five dedicated employees between two locations. I recently partnered with three of my brothers to develop Mettle Sports, a new facility in Nampa with a vision to increase athleticism, teamwork, and opportunity for the youth of Canyon County while creating jobs and volunteer opportunities.
I mimic the beliefs of my Great ‘Uncle T’, Ezra Taft Benson, former U.S. Secretary of Agriculture. He said, “it is a firm principle that the smallest or lowest level that can possibly undertake the task is the one that should do so.” I grew up with a conservative understanding that the government is best when closest to the people. Uncle T believed that “the sole function of government is to protect life, liberty, and property,” and I will work to do just that for the people of this beautiful state. I will be a strong voice for the people of Nampa and District 13 and will work closely with Governor Little and the legislature to address the issues and protect the Idaho way of life. I hope that I can count on your support to be your next Republican State Representative in District 13.

One of the highlights of my career has been my participation in “Shareen Keller Day” — one day a year where we provide free dentistry to Moms in need in our community. Started with my brother, and named after our mom, it is our gift to her! We have enjoyed this day annually since 2005, but unfortunately, because of the current pandemic, we will not be able to hold our event as scheduled for tomorrow.
For those moms whom we have helped in the past that plan for this event, Klint and I will be outside the office tomorrow morning between 7 and 9 am to give vouchers to come back when things are more normalized. We love our moms and want to help!!
Wishing all of our Moms out there a Happy Mother’s Day!

I’m running for Legislature to protect small businesses and to help our community thrive. I know from experience that local businesses will always need protection from too much government oversight and overtaxation.

The Proper Role of Government
I’m running for the state legislature because I support the proper role of government. My great-uncle, Ezra Taft Benson, was an Idahoan that became the secretary of agriculture during the term of Pres. Eisenhower. Uncle T, as we called him, defended small government by telling us that “it is a firm principle that the smallest or lowest level that can possibly undertake the task is the one that should do so” and that “the sole function of government is to protect life, liberty, and property.”
The principles of small government run deep in my family, and I echo these words of my great-uncle “I am opposed to any attempt on the part of the Federal Government to deny the people their right to bear arms, to worship and pray when and where they choose, or to own and control private property.”
I’m asking for your vote to represent Nampa and our firm commitment to smaller government.
Why I’m Running — Kim and his brother Klint talk about issues impacting Nampa. This video is posted in stories in its entirety.
Only those who have requested a ballot will get to vote in the May 19 Primary Election. Please visit idahovotes.gov to request your ballot!
Leadership. Vision. Hard Work.
I’m grateful for the friendship, support and endorsement from Victor Rodriguez of the Nampa City Council. For the full video, please see Kim Keller for Idaho on Facebook.
We have plenty of yard signs and would love to see them all over town!
We are carefully observing the city ordinance that requires we don’t post signs in public right of ways. We are following the direction to ask first and put signs on private property.
Please let us know if you’d like one in your yard or on a piece or property you own by sending us a DM with your address.
Doing our best to keep Governor Little’s #stayathome order — cooking dinner and playing games together. Here’s a video we made for our former Italian foreign exchange student Elena, with our new Brazilian foreign exchange student Rafael. And featuring our son Preston who is away at college! (It was Mrs. White, in the Library, with the Wrench!) What are you doing to stay home and stay safe?
Thanks Bobbie Pearce for your support — and sharing your talents with our family!
My daughter MacyLynn and I are out putting in yard signs! Congrats to the Kirkman family for getting the first Kim Keller for Idaho yard sign. Also here’s a behind the scenes look into a fun trip MacyLynn and I took to our nation’s capital. And MacyLynn’s amazing violin!
Kim Keller for Idaho Yard Signs are here thanks to Thorne Printing! Sean and Lawrence Wasden will be getting them out and about in the community this weekend.
