County Commissioner Terms I have worked on legislation that will lengthen the terms of county commissioners from a two-year term to a four-year term. This allows commissioners to spend less time focused on reelection and more time focused on the people’s business and working in the community. This term change will begin in 2024.
2022 Coffee Hours My favorite part of this job is getting out with the community, talking with them and hearing what issues matter to them. I’m hosting a series of coffee hours this year, and I invite you all to stop by any of them to express your thoughts on the issues that surround our community. If you haven’t got the chance to stop by yet, I hope to see you there!
