District 2 has a new commissioner, Don Suppes (pictured right). Don is a lifelong resident and local business owner. In a Delta County Independent (DCI) article, he described himself as a fiscal conservative who gained valuable experience as mayor of Orchard City. “I always looked out for the best interest of the citizens and I plan to do that as a county commissioner,” he said.
Commissioner Mark Roeber (pictured left) returns to serve District 3. “As we transition to a new normal, I feel it will take a steady hand, conservative fiscal practices and cool headedness,” he said in an interview with the DCI. A rancher, he is a graduate of Paonia High School and a lifetime resident of Delta County. “I serve the community because I feel it’s important,” he adds.
