I am running to bring unity and transparency to our community. For too long our county has been divided. In years past our county government was influenced by outside interests with no connection to our community. As your commissioner, I have worked hard to bring our local government back to the people. We need leadership that can work together to get things done. We might not always agree, but we can still tackle hard issues and find solutions that work in San Juan County.

Protecting Our Rural Heritage
As your County Commissioner, I approach problems with collaboration and transparency. When we work together and unify around our shared values, we build a more prosperous San Juan County.
Together we must invest in infrastructure, good schools, and economic development. We must keep taxes low so our families and businesses can thrive. I am committed to protecting our rural communities from outside interests with big-city agendas.
Meet Jamie
I'm running for re-election as your county commissioner. Below you can read about why I'm running, my experience, and who I am outside of work.

My Experience I have lived in San Juan County my entire life. I am committed to family, faith, and community. I was born in Monument Valley and graduated from White Horse High School, where I met my wife, Cheryle. Today, we are the proud parents of four adult children. I began my higher education at the College of Eastern Utah in Blanding, earning my associate degree in 1994, before transferring to the University of Utah, where I graduated in 1999 with a bachelor's degree in Sociology and a certification in criminology. That same year, I started my professional career as an employment counselor for the Department of Workforce Services and later pursued an Executive Masters of Public Administration. Though my studies were put on hold in 2004 due to kidney failure, I received a life-saving kidney transplant in 2005 thanks to a donation from my younger sister. My commitment to our community's well-being led me to serve on the Utah Navajo Health System (UNHS) Board from 2001 to 2021. As Board Chair in 2018, I was privileged to oversee the construction of the Montezuma Creek clinic and break ground on the Blanding clinic. My local leadership also includes serving as the Aneth Chapter Secretary-Treasurer from 2001 to 2008, all of which prepared me for my current role on the San Juan County Commission, where I have proudly served since 2022. Throughout my career, I have been dedicated to advocating for families in need, a mission I continue daily in my current role with the Division of Child and Family Services (DCFS).

Issues

Transparency Our old county commission operated in the dark while under the influence of outside interests. Our new commission operates in the open with community input. We must maintain this momentum to keep our county government open, transparent, and working for the people.

Fiscal Accountability We must be wise in how we spend your tax dollars. I support fiscally responsible county budgets. When we secured federal funding for our water settlements, I insisted that the money be tightly managed with local consensus. I will continue to do this with every project.

Low Taxes We must continue to keep property taxes low so our families and businesses can thrive. As tourism grows, we can use visitor dollars to pay for infrastructure and services through transient room taxes.

Preserving Our Heritage Our past commission was fractured by cultural and geographic divides. Our heritage and culture do not need to be a political battleground. Our heritage is our shared core value. In San Juan County, we have a profound respect for our ancestors, a deep connection to the land, and a desire to pass their legacy down to our children and grandchildren.
