About Christina
Christina Giordani is a dynamic leader, entrepreneur, and dedicated community advocate who has called the Wood River Valley home for over a decade and Bellevue home for 7 years. The daughter of a contractor and a restaurant manager, Christina earned scholarships to the University of San Francisco where she completed her degree in Entrepreneurship and Environmental Studies. Her hard-working upbringing and academic foundation ignited her passion for innovation and sustainable development, which she has carried into all aspects of her professional life.
Relocating to the Wood River Valley to start her career in agriculture and local food systems, Christina honed her skills in rural product development and operational management working for Lava Lake Land & Livestock in Carey. She later channeled her entrepreneurial spirit into founding Roadbars, a “farm to cup” mobile beverage catering company, in 2015 and Ramen Cowboy, a scratch-made ramen restaurant in Ketchum in 2023. These ventures reflect her ability to identify opportunities and create businesses that source from and serve her greater community.
Christina’s dedication to public service began with her appointment to the Bellevue City Council, where she quickly became known for her collaborative leadership and diligent approach to solving community challenges. Her peers recognized her exceptional contributions, electing her City Council President in 2023. Following this, in December 2024 she was appointed Mayor of Bellevue, a role she has embraced with a focus on transparency, accountability, and fostering strong connections between city government and residents.
Under her leadership, Christina has addressed critical needs such as infrastructure improvements and enhancing public safety as well as advocating for fiscal and zoning sustainability. Her vision for Bellevue is one of thoughtful growth balanced with preserving the community’s unique history and character.
Christina and her husband welcomed their first child in February of this year and she feels invested now more than ever in building a better, brighter Bellevue for generations to come. Her blend of professional experience, entrepreneurial acumen, and unwavering commitment to public service makes her a trusted leader dedicated to addressing the present needs while protecting Bellevue’s future.
