What Does “Elected Official” Mean?

An elected official is someone you chose in an election to carry out a public duty on your behalf. These are the people who make decisions, enact laws or ordinances, oversee public programs, manage budgets, provide essential services, and uphold the rule of law at the county level.

Unlike appointed staff, elected officials are directly accountable to the voters. Their authority and duties are defined by local laws, county charter, and/or state statute.

Why It Matters to You

• Representation: Elected officials are your voice in government. They make key decisions about public safety, roads, public health, infrastructure, and more.
• Accessibility: Many of these officials hold regular town halls, meet constituents, accept correspondence, and their decisions affect daily life in the county.
• Transparency & Accountability: The public has the right to know who holds what office, what powers they have, and how to contact them. This directory supports that.
