She has been rumored for some time to be considering a run for county commissioner, to try and capture the seat being left vacant by Jan Angel’s surprise announcement on March 28 that she wouldn’t seek a third term.

She was careful to not rule out the possibility, and did say she might revisit the commissioner’s race as the time got closer. But she also stated there were other opportunities that she would like to explore as well, besides being an elected official.
