Meet Jayden Gallagly
Candidate for Boone County Board – District 2
Born in Rockford and raised in Boone County, Jayden is proud to call this community home. As the youngest candidate in the race and an outspoken Gen Z conservative, Jayden represents a new generation committed to protecting the values and future of Boone County.
Jayden is actively involved in civic efforts and organizations throughout Boone County and the surrounding region. He is passionate about strengthening political engagement—especially among younger generations—because he believes the future of our county depends on getting more young people involved in shaping it.
He is running for Boone County Board to ensure fiscal responsibility, expand economic opportunity, and promote transparent, accountable leadership in local government. Jayden believes Boone County must continue growing in the right direction so future generations can enjoy the same safe, strong, and vibrant community that residents value today.
His primary initiative is to advocate for increased economic and commercial development within Boone County—keeping tax dollars local instead of losing them to surrounding counties. By strengthening our local economy, Jayden aims to support small businesses, attract new investment, and build long-term prosperity for District 2 and all of Boone County.
