Garfield County Commissioners

Tom Jankovsky, Garfield County Commissioner, District 1

I am Tom Jankovsky,  your current county commissioner for Garfield County District 1.

A third-generation Coloradoan, Tom Jankovsky has been a Garfield County resident since 1985 with extensive experience working in both the private and public sectors. A well-known face in the community, Tom was General Manager of Sunlight Mountain Resort from 1985 to 2018. Since then, he has served as Garfield County Commissioner and was re elected in 2022.

Tom is as passionate about Garfield County as he is about skiing. As a businessperson and fiscal conservative, he supports a strong, diverse economy that improves the lives of everyone living in Garfield County. Top issues include common-sense policies for energy independence utilizing natural gas and clean energy alternatives to fuel not only our county but also aid our state and nation as energy prices continue to soar under democratic leadership. Looking ahead, Tom foresees housing as the county’s biggest hurdle. “Without attainable and affordable housing, we cannot maintain our workforce. The solution will come from projects and partnerships that involve both private and public sectors.

Perry Will, Garfield County Commissioner, District 2

I am Perry Will,  your current county commissioner for Garfield County District 2.

My entire career has been dedicated to public service for Coloradans.  Working for Division of Wildlife/Colorado Parks and Wildlife led me into a variety of diverse policy arenas on the Western Slope. During that time, I effectively worked with various ideological and political backgrounds on multiple contentious issues. My reputation at the Capitol as a problem solver is evidenced by a list of meaningful bills passed during the most divisive times.

As County Commissioner my priorities include Affordable Housing, Public Lands and Federal Government mandates, the local economy, more jobs, offering workforce development, transportation issues, West Slope water, affordability of living on the West Slope of Colorado, I love Garfield County and its residents, this is my home and my family’s home, a great place to raise a family.

Mike Samson, Garfield County Commissioner, District 3

I am Mike Samson, your current county commissioner for Garfield County District 3.

I am in my 17th year as one of your elected commissioners. I am still as honored today to serve as as I was on the first day elected to this office. I sincerely ask for your continued support and confidence in my run for re-election. It appears that our national and state governments have not done a good job on many fronts. I confidently state that Garfield County is in good shape. Leaders in county governments throughout the U.S. deal with issues such as : preserving public lands for public and multiple use, development of all kinds of energy with natural gas a vital part, transportation within our valley, water (emphasis on Shoshones Permanency), communication – Broadband, and the local economy. My main focus is the health, safety, and welfare of Garfield County citizens. I believe that Garfield County has been governed wisely, efficiently, and effectively for these past many years and hope that you feel the same. I, therefore, ask you to again support me for Garfield County District 3 Commissioner.
