Most importantly, VOTE in local elections!


Who are our local elected officials?


Local elected officials make many decisions that impact our daily lives. For example, your local county board of commissioners or trustees make decisions about priorities for spending tax dollars, hiring of county employees, oversight of county departments and services. Local voters elect the officials that represent them on these boards. 

Do you know who your local elected officials are?  Do you know how to contact them?
Below is a list of the local elected officials in our area with their email contact information.
If there are other officials you want to learn about, you can check your local county or school board website. You can also Contact Us to add others to this list.
