Baird runs for county commissioner

Life-long Hot Springs County resident, Jack Baird, has tossed his hat into the ring, vying for County Commissioner.

As a land owner and self-employed rancher, Baird knows the county inside and out, covering much of the 233 miles of county roads on a regular basis.

If you talk to those who know him, most would say that he is straight talking, a hard worker and dedicated to this county.

His record speaks for itself, having served on boards both at the county and state level, including the HSC School Distric Strategic Planning Board, Powell Research and Extension Center, Hot Springs County NRPC, Wyoming Stockgrowers Board of Directors and Chairman of the Wildlife Committee. He chaired the HSC Predatory Board for 19 years.

Because he has operated a successful business for over 20 years, he knows how to budget and operate within the good years and the lean years and is willing to work with others.

Baird said he will listen to all the constituents of Hot Spring County and do the research on the issues that face our county. He will work to keep common sense on the commission, too, and assures tax dollars will be spent sensibly and responsibly, including saving for the lean years.
