Commissioners cover a large area in their role to manage and lead Shoshone County. Keeping unity with all other elected officials is the only way to move forward with positive improvements.  It takes teamwork, dedication, and communication through all departments. I will continue to strive to bring the County budget back from a deficit. I am seeking out all possible revenue avenues that can help and fine-tune expenses to a minimum while still being able to operate successfully for the citizens of Shoshone County. Shoshone County is a highly sought-after place for recreational activities, we must continue to find ways for healthy recreation and preserving the County’s environment, habitat, and its citizens that reside here.
