For Gilpin County Commissioner
PRESS RELEASE – Hi fellow Gilpin residents, I am Sandy Hollingsworth running for County Commissioner, District 3. I have lived in Rollinsville for 22 years, and have been married just as long. You may know me from my 20 years of volunteering for Boards, projects, committees, and nonprofits in Gilpin County and beyond. My caring for Gilpin County, residents I have met, county services, and our public lands is sincere. I grew up in a military family, learning the value of public service, and am a social worker who has done community-based work my whole career.
A County Commissioner’s job is to listen to all residents and be responsive, shape policy, oversee the county budget, and guide growth and land use. Am I running as a Democrat? Yes, but a Commissioner is elected to represents all residents of our county, which is what I intend to do. I understand that listening to and respecting varied viewpoints, ideas, and concerns is integral to decisive planning. In my work, I have interacted with individuals and groups from diverse backgrounds facing life challenges, and collaborated to seek positive solutions and create programs. I will bring my 25 years of experience in municipal government with policies, strategic planning, priority-based budgeting, and employee engagement to the job. This included the 2008-2010 recession years when cuts to staff and spending were necessary to reset and regain sustainability of the city budget.
