Livingston County Board of Commissioners Special Meeting - August 20, 2026

The Livingston County Board of Commissioners held a special meeting on August 20, 2026, primarily to interview nine applicants for the vacant District 3 County Commissioner seat following the passing of Commissioner Frank Sample. Each candidate presented their qualifications, priorities, and views on fiscal responsibility, rural character preservation, public safety, and conservative values, including pro-life stances.
