WE KNOW TIMES ARE TOUGH
Learn more about the Colorado State Statutes and Archuleta County Guidelines for Board of County Commissioners.

Archuleta County has had more than its share of financial challenges.

We need to meet the future with leaders who have more than good intentions.

We need leaders with proven financial expertise and intimate knowledge of our local concerns.

  • Someone who solves 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
  • A man whose vision, integrity and fairness are not slogans but are well earned descriptions offered by his friends, neighbors
    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.
