Sheridan County Backs Local Candidate for State Liability Pool Board
Summary
The commission conducted a straw poll and voted to forward Sheridan County’s ballot for Jessica Weaver as the at‑large representative to the Local Government Liability Pool Board for a three‑year term beginning Jan. 1, 2026; commissioners cited Weaver’s local ties and experience.
Sheridan County commissioners on Nov. 4 agreed to forward the county’s ballot in support of Jessica Weaver for the at‑large position on the Local Government Liability Pool Board for a three‑year term beginning Jan. 1, 2026.
Cameron Duff, the county’s administrative director, explained that three candidates were vying for the single at‑large seat and that the county’s vote will be one contribution to a statewide selection. "This is gonna be across the whole state," Duff said, noting the county’s role is to record its preference for the larger board election. The board conducted a straw poll before casting its formal ballot; after discussion commissioners moved and approved passing the county’s support for Jessica Weaver.
Why it matters: The Local Government Liability Pool provides property/casualty coverage for participating municipalities and special districts. Having a local representative can give Sheridan County input into pool governance and risk‑management decisions.
Details: The motion on the county ballot specified the term beginning Jan. 1, 2026, and commissioners praised Weaver as a Sheridan County candidate with prior service on the pool’s board. The board’s selection was approved by voice vote.
