A message from county commissioner candidate Len Carlman:
JACKSON, Wyo. — Len Carlman is the right choice for Teton County Commissioner, and would be grateful for your vote in the Nov. 5 election.
“While Len is an attorney, to me he is the quintessential naturalist and a friend who I have come to deeply admire and respect for his positive outlook and never-ending desire to learn,” says Roger Smith, Raptor Ecologist. “These qualities are precisely what we need in a County Commissioner. Len’s commitment to learning and his positive approach to solving complex problems will undoubtedly bring a fresh perspective to every issue, meeting and decision ahead for our community.
“I cannot think of anyone in this valley who has given greater concern and thoughtfulness to the wildness that surrounds us every day in this valley.”
Roger Smith, Raptor Ecologist
“I believe Len Carlman will bring thoughtful, informed and enthusiastic leadership to Teton County,” Smith adds. “I cannot think of anyone in this valley who has given greater concern and thoughtfulness to the wildness that surrounds us every day in this valley, or who has developed a stronger sense of place and sensibility about what makes our community unique.”
If you don’t take Carlman’s friend Smith’s word for it, Carlman hopes the following history of community service will help persuade you to vote for him. Here are some of the projects, organizations and boards he’s been proud to work with from the 1980s through present:

Carlman has worked toward a sustainable future for Teton County for decades.

His roles as an outdoorsman, father, lawyer and community member have all helped him understand the joys, needs and challenges of life in Teton County.
“I will work to advance community priorities around affordable housing, conservation, water quality and transportation,” Carlman says.
