- Board of County Commissioners
- Traditional 3-member Board of County Commissioners. President: Scott W. Hunt (R). Vice President: Keith Rager (R). Secretary: Thomas C. Chernisky (D). LOWER CONFIDENCE: the county's own site blocked automated fetch on every attempt; the roster is corroborated by independent news sources rather than a direct primary-source read.
