Keaton d West was re‑elected chair of the Sweetwater County Board of County Commissioners on Jan. 6, 2026, after Commissioner Eileen Richards nominated him and Commissioner Mary Toman moved election by acclamation. The board voted unanimously to approve West as chair for 2026.
The meeting opened with the Pledge of Allegiance and confirmation of a five‑member quorum.

"If you've had a chance to review the agenda and you have no questions or corrections, I'd entertain a motion for approval," West said before the unanimous vote.
