Scott Steward, a current member of the Park County Board of Commissioners, is seeking reelection in a crowded field of nine Republican candidates. Prior to his time on the commissioners board, he spent over 30 years with the Park County Sheriff’s Office, ultimately serving as sheriff for 17 years.

Experience and Motivation

Steward’s motivation for running for the commissioners board came during his last few years as sheriff, as he watched the county struggle to handle rapid growth in population. He decided to be part of the solution, rather than just observing from the sidelines. As a commissioner, Steward has focused on updating the county’s Land Use Plan and Development Standards and Regulations, a process that has taken years but is nearing completion.

Steward is asking residents of Park County for their vote once again, citing his experience as sheriff, his time on the commissioners board, and his love for the community as defining characteristics of his campaign. He aims to be a solid voice for the community, built on a foundation of public service.
