Board of Supervisors
5-member Board of Supervisors, one per district. President: Brad Calhoun (District 3) — sourced to the county's own site and the local chamber of commerce; not independently corroborated by a third source, and the county's own board page blocked direct verification, so treat with slightly lower confidence than other counties in this batch. Other members: Sid Scarbrough (District 1), Phil Schoggen (District 2), Steve Gaines (District 4), Jay Bishop (District 5). The board saw real turnover in 2025 (a prior member's resignation).
