About the County Commissioners
The Stanton County Board of Commissioners consists of three elected members who are responsible for overseeing county government operations, including budgeting, policymaking, and executive functions. Commissioners serve four-year staggered terms, with two elected in the same year and the third elected two years later. Terms begin on the second Monday in January following the general election.
Commissioners are expected to uphold local, state, and national interests, ensure compliance with the law, and guide county departments and services.
While no formal qualifications are required, experience in business, government, or management is helpful. Strong skills in communication, decision-making, negotiation, and leadership are important. Candidates must:
-
Be at least 18 years old
-
Be a registered voter residing in Stanton County
-
Have no disqualifying felony convictions
-
Disclose any business ownership stakes exceeding $5,000
The commissioners manage an $11 million annual budget and oversee around 50 full-time staff and elected officials. They set policies, approve budgets and tax levies, guide land use decisions, and address community issues. Regular engagement in meetings and county-related initiatives is a key part of their work.
Current Commissioners:
-
Chris Floyd, Chairman (elected 2020)
-
Lonnie Brown (appointed 2019)
-
Nicholas (Nick) Chenoweth (elected 2024)
Each brings a strong commitment to serving the community and helping Stanton County thrive.
