good intentions.

financial expertise and intimate knowledge of
our local concerns.

problems
- Someone who communicates well and
conducts business in a civil and unifying way
- We need Marion Francis:
A banker, a neighbor, a parent and a community
leader

fairness are not slogans but are well earned

and professional associates, regardless of party affiliation

County Commissioners
Their Job - Our Job
NOW, MORE THAN EVER
We must elect commissioners with exceptional skills and experience.
The work is not for amateurs, no matter how well-intentioned or popular.
Commissioners must fully understand needs, handle
financial complexities, build effective budgets and policies, and
work together to move the county forward.
THEIR JOB* (The Commissioners):
To act for us in prioritizing, budgeting and
spending our money. They are also responsible for taxes, levies,
the resources enabling county departments to perform and they
authorize all expenditures of Archuleta County funds.
OUR JOB (County Residents):
To elect commissioners equal to these tasks -
proven communicators, leaders and, above all, capable of
managing our financial resources and the business of
Archuleta County professionally, wisely and with clear
accountability.
Marion’s professional experience, integrity and dedication to
Archuleta County set him apart as the most qualified candidate. A banker, community leader and successful executive manager,
Marion has the knowledge, character and wisdom required to do the job.

Frustrated With How Things Are Going?
It's Time for a Change, Don't You Think?
Marion Francis:
“As the owner of Goodman's Department Store for the
last 31 years, I know what it takes to run a successful
business. The many roles and challenges in
managing the business of Archuleta County requires
that same type of experience.
Marion Francis has 30
years of relevant business and financial experience.
He has gained leadership and administrative skills
through mangement and financial positions he has
held in his banking career.
Marion is the man we
should elect as County Commissioner.”
