Democrats Step Up: February 2026
Goodbye to an old friend and long time Lincoln County Commissioner and public servant, Claire Hall (1957-2026). We will miss
Lincoln County democrats showed up, and their voices made a difference. We congratulate Cathie Rigby and Cristen Don on their victories for County Commissioner Seats 1 and 2, alongside endorsed candidates Susan Wahlke, Joe Cannon, Stephen Percy, Angel Aparicio-Reyes, and CM Hall. These wins reflect the power of community, collaboration, and a shared commitment to a stronger, more inclusive county. Thank you to every voter, volunteer, and supporter who made this blue wave possible!
In the November 2024 general election, 75% of Lincoln County voters cast a ballot—more than 30,000 people participated in our local democracy. We’re expecting even greater turnout in 2026! A little planning makes voting easier and ensures your voice is heard.
