We will cast our votes for Michelle (Cockram) Kaseberg for our next county commissioner. Michelle comes from a long-standing Baker County ag family. We have fond memories of years of interaction with the Cockram family dairy. Remembrances including the Baker County Junior Show, the winter rides on the horse-drawn sleigh, and the personal support of the Cockram family for our county events.

Michelle has expanded her background to include a combination of agriculture and banking. Her experience, where she audited policies/procedures, has helped her to develop exspertise in money management and additional skills that will benefit Baker County. Her deep roots in agriculture means that she knows the importance of quality food and water, thus helping our communities thrive.

Michelle cares about the things we all care about. … quality health care, emergency response services, affordable housing, clean water, and keeping our county wildfire ready.

We are fortunate that a person of Michelle’s background and caliber has decided to seek this important position. She will make a great addition to the Baker County Commission.
