Robert Gillis- For Eagle City Council

Eagle is my home, and I want to make sure it remains one of the best places to live in Idaho. With decades of public service and legislative experience, I’m ready to listen, lead, and fight for our community’s future.

-Robert Gillis

My name is Robert Gillis. I am 54 years old, and I’ve been married to my wife and best friend for sixteen outstanding years. Together, we are raising three incredible children—two currently attending Boise State University and one beginning her journey as a freshman at Eagle High School. Our family is deeply rooted in this community, and we truly love calling Eagle our home.

Service has always been at the heart of who I am. I currently serve as President of Idaho Tough on Crime, where I work alongside state legislators and law enforcement professionals on law-and-order legislation. I am also a Board Member with CrimeStoppers of Idaho and a peer support team member for Courageous Survival, an organization that connects first responders, military veterans, and their families with vital mental health resources.

Before stepping into these roles, I dedicated over twenty-five years to a career in law enforcement, following more than five years in emergency medical services. While my law enforcement career has come to a close, my commitment to service has not.

I remain dedicated to giving back, staying involved, and helping to lead with integrity and heart. Eagle is our home, and I am committed to working to ensure it remains one of the best places in Idaho for families to live, work, and thrive.
