Why is Paul Black running?
La Plata County is a great place to call home. Yet everyday, I have conversations with people in our community about how hard it is to live here. People are struggling to find good paying jobs to afford the cost of living. It’s getting harder to buy a home or even rent; let alone build or improve the home you’re in. I want to pursue policies that change this.

Please consider that La Plata County needs a diverse voice on the County commission. We need strong representation for rural families and those in the thriving communities of Bayfield, Ignacio and Red Mesa, not just in the city of Durango and the North county… I ask that you join me in voting for Paul Black as County Commissioner. We desperately need a voice that cares about the people who are struggling to make a life for themselves and their families in our County.
