Our Officers
-
Julie Bowles
Chair
I was born and raised in San Juan County. Thank you for the privilege of being elected Party Chair.
Like many of you, I strive for equality, transparency, and a fair and strengthened community.
I would like to see some of the “same”, change and some of the things, such as the beauty of our landscape, never change.
If we can work together, accept one another, and understand that our differences in cultures, ideas, and a blend in leadership, actually work to strengthen us, we can become an even more remarkable community.
A community working together on issues such as healthcare, water, land, housing, and our economy, making us an even stronger, more remarkable county.
