We need taxes to fund our government. Taxes need to be addressed and the amount reassessed to take into consideration whether or not individuals and families live in this county year-round. I am open to the idea of a cap on property taxes, but we need to be realistic about who and what properties get that break. For homes 2,500 square feet (not including ADUs) or less a property tax cap seems appropriate.
Water quality. It effects our community, wildlife and potentially the economy. If visitors associate Teton County as a place with poor water quality, it may lead to a decrease in tourism dollars.
Address the poor water quality in Hoback Junction. Additionally, I would work to find more funding for septic system inspections.
It can be part of the solution. The information that is sent to the public sets the tone for what travelers can expect when they come to Teton County. If we let visitors know how special this place is to us their respect for this place will increase.

The mindset of some people needs to change, and people need to recognize that without the Latino population this county wouldn’t function. So, what can the county do? Be open and honest with the other 80% of this county and point out the fact that the Latino population keeps this county running.
What sets you apart?
I have been blessed and fortunate during the last three years to live in an affordable unit managed by the Jackson Hole Community Housing Trust. During the last year my partner and I were able to purchase a Workforce home through the Jackson/Teton County Affordable Housing Authority. I have lived in my car (four different times) during the past 17 years to make it work in this valley, and I understand the struggle that many in our working class face every single day. As a public servant and a critical service provider I recognize the importance of spending the public’s money wisely. What I can offer, you the voters of Teton County, is the perspective of a current member of the working class or workforce of this community because I, like many of you, live in that world every single day.
As the county continues to create and manage Affordable and Workforce housing it needs to work alongside the private sector to accomplish these goals. Also, we need to work toward a tiered system of housing so people and families can “move up” in terms of housing, from one-bedroom units for a couple to two- to three-πbedroom units as their family grows. The housing also needs to support the lifestyle that many of us moved here for; we need storage for gear, stairwells large enough to carry bikes and other equipment up and down and a parking space for every bedroom in the house. Housing security alleviates a huge amount of stress in people’s daily lines and allows them to become more involved with their community.

For better or worse, we live in a state with limited options to fund critical community services. Recently, as tax revenues from natural resources have plummeted to historic lows, the state government has pressured local assessors to squeeze every penny of value from property owners. During the pandemic, skyrocketing values driven by global market pressures have further exacerbated the strain of property taxes on homeowners. I support continued efforts to diversify Teton County’s revenue stream. Adding a seventh penny of sales tax would allow the county to significantly reduce property taxes, shifting the onus of local funding from residents to visitors. I support all specific purpose excise tax (SPET) measures and increasing the lodging tax for the same reason. With decisive and creative leadership we can both reduce property taxes and increase funding for the services at the heart of our community vision.
With soaring home values and rental costs, we find ourselves increasingly unable to house our workforce locally. The recent Integrated Transportation Plan Update suggests that as many as 8,000 workers commute to and from Jackson each day. These trips represent a significant percentage of our annual greenhouse gas emissions. As a member of the START board I have focused on increasing the frequency of commuter service, opening the window of commuter service operation, and the ability for employers to purchase passes on behalf of their employees, making transit a more viable option for these thousands of commuters.
Situated as we are at the headwaters of the Snake River, I am committed to ensuring that the water flowing out of our county is as clean as the water flowing in. While there are a number of factors contributing to local water pollution, far and away the most significant is improperly sited septic systems along the river’s floodplain. Additionally, the systems

serving both Teton Village and The Aspens are aging and potentially dangerous. Any type of failure lasting more than a few hours in either of these systems would result in untreated sewage being discharged directly into the aquifer. I propose the deployment of a high-tech water treatment plant on the west bank of the Snake River. This investment would solve both of these critical issues.
On the one hand, Jackson Hole has relied and will always rely on tourism as our primary economic driver. On the other, it doesn’t take a spreadsheet to realize the dangers of overtourism for both our ecological and social ecosystems. In recent years the Travel and Tourism Board has shifted most of its focus from promotion to education, encouraging our visitors to behave responsibly. I appreciate this shift in strategy and encourage its continued expansion. My main critique has less to do with the work of the TTB and more to do with the primary funding mechanism behind it. The lodging tax represents an enormous windfall for our local governments, but only 40% is allowed to support mitigating visitor impacts. I support both increasing the amount of the tax (we can double it to 4% according to state statute) and continuing efforts in Cheyenne to deploy more lodging tax revenue for mitigating visitor impacts. We live in one of the most beautiful and most visited regions in the country. The mountains, rivers and forests are all the promotion we need. Lodging tax dollars could find a much better use if we were allowed to deploy them to fund our local governments.
There are a number of ways the county can improve its relationship with the Latino community. First and foremost, all public documents, surveys and correspondence should include Spanish translations. Second, the county can support organizations like One22 and our local churches to encourage members of underrepresented groups to pursue leadership positions. Achieving a diversity of representation not only opens the door for better communication but also sets the stage for others in the Latino community to serve as well. The county is currently negotiating a number of housing opportunities. Commissioners must ensure that in exchange for any concessions, the community receives assurances of affordability tied to income levels.
What sets you apart?
I am compassionate as I consider the struggles facing our community. I am creative in developing working solutions. I am committed to doing whatever it takes to get the job done. My successes, whether in academics, business or life, have depended on my steadfast belief that all problems are solvable. If elected, I will act with creativity, compassion, creativity and commitment to ensure that Teton County remains the special place that we all cherish.
The top issue facing any Teton County commissioner is the development of affordable workforce housing. Over the past couple of years we have seen dramatic decreases in the number of affordable rental units provided by the private sector. Unprecedented global market pressures have transformed entire swaths of town, as previously affordable homes and rental units disappeared only to be replaced by largely vacant investment properties. Thousands of residents have retreated down the road or have simply left the area for lack of housing. If we are to avoid the fate of so many other resort towns whose workforces have been priced out, we must act boldly in the face of current opportunities. If elected I pledge to always seek a fair deal for the community, thoroughly and thoughtfully examining the details in any negotiation. The devil lies in the details. I’ll be there too, making sure that any concessions aren’t given away to developers without our getting a fair deal in return.

As your commissioner I will work to bring greater accountability to your tax dollars and ensure every dollar serves the needs within our community, rather than more government growth.
There are parents and grandparents living in campers with their children because they have been taxed out of their homes. Meanwhile, the county approved a more than $95 million budget in July, a nearly 40% increase year over year. Rather than using its resources to lower property taxes or drive a legislative fix at the state level, our local government is finding ways to spend the windfall, adding more employees and administration, further exacerbating the housing crisis.
Our workforce, which is quickly becoming an endangered species. Years of saying “no” to good opportunities to get workforce housing in the ground has choked supply, pushing our housing shortage into a crisis. The problem is compounded by skyrocketing property taxes, rents and costs of living.
Opportunities like northern South Park and the recently approved rezone in Horse Creek demonstrate that by working with the private sector (landowners, builders, nonprofits and community advocates), we can make a difference to keep our workforce in Teton County. If elected I will work to zone more workforce housing, rebuild partnerships with the private sector to get projects done on time and on budge.
Develop a countywide water quality vision plan and secure sustainable funding to protect our waters. Contamination of our local waters is a fastemerging problem. In Hoback some households’ tap water is not drinkable. Unsafe E. coli and bacteria levels have been detected in Fish Creek and Flat Creek. These problems affect all of us.
I support developing a water quality plan to guide the development and deployment of infrastructure needed to ensure the integrity of our waters and aquifer. I support leveraging the county’s resources and a specific purpose excise tax initiative to create long-term funding. I support practical solutions, like incentives and relief funds to help families replace failing septic systems and septic testing when homes are sold.

It’s easy to pin blame on travel and tourism promotion, but let’s not forget that many — probably most — residents here first experienced Teton County as visitors. Small businesses, which create jobs that allow us to live and work here, overwhelming rely on the tourism industry. I appreciate that the Travel and Tourism Board has limited promotion to shoulder seasons to help build a year-round economy, which supports our working class. It deserves credit for helping drive mitigation efforts and raising awareness among visitors to reduce impacts.
Our elected leaders need to better manage the effects of growing visitation. For example, to consider how new development (i.e., more hotels) will affect traffic on our roads, to increase use of public transportation (bus lanes and better routing) and to embrace common-sense solutions to traffic, like smart lights, pathways and road redundancy.
The Latinx community is a critical part of Teton County. Sadly, it is also one of the most vulnerable and under-represented. Our Hispanic population faces disproportionately high housing insecurity, which is likely under reported. Latinx workers are more likely to earn less, work multiple jobs and struggle with costs of health care and child care. Organizations like the Latino Resource Center provide critical services to help bridge divides within our community. Our local government can and should support that work, and it can do more to ensure our Hispanic community’s voice is heard. Much of that is common sense. If elected I will work with the county clerk to hold public meetings at times that work for working families (most people juggling jobs, children and daily life don’t have time to sit through hourslong meetings in the middle of a work day); provide translation services; and create a volunteer Latinx advisory board, to build relations and bring the issues facing our Hispanic population to light. Latinos and Latinas are a vital part of our community, and we are stronger when they are actively involved in shaping our future.
What sets you apart?
As a fourth-generation Teton County native, small-business owner, husband and father, I understand the challenges facing our working class.
As your commissioner I will fight to get workforce housing in the ground and ensure that it benefits you, our working class. I will work with our state leaders and be your advocate in Cheyenne to cap property taxes, which are getting passed to renters and pushing out homeowners. I will fight to make child care and health insurance more accessible and affordable by removing barriers to in-home child care and launching a small-business health care plan. And I will bring greater accountability to your tax dollars, to ensure your government works for you. I understand these issues because my family and I grapple with them every day.

No one likes being taxed in excess. However, if it’s collected and spent according to Teton County’s vision, mission and values statement, I’d say we have done our job. I will stand behind this statement if elected as your commissioner.
Conservation, preservation and protecting our open space and wildlife go hand in hand with growth management and affordable housing development. We need to add density so that we can minimize traffic congestion and develop less open space. We need to utilize existing infrastructure and expand workforce housing in areas where we have already invested (i.e., Munger School infrastructure). We must also incorporate our water quality knowledge when building new structures and developments.
that will improve our surface and groundwater resources and protect them from future degradation. We should work together as a community to expand education and participation in this project.

The Travel and Tourism Board is a great asset to this community. Jackson has always relied on tourism to support its economy. For example, in fiscal year 2021 alone the town and county received $2,753,875 from the lodging tax. Jackson tourism revenue also helps subsidize the impacts of tourism on our infrastructure. However, I do believe that we need to be more effective with the solutions we develop so that we are less impacted by the amount of tourism.
Teton County has done a great job supporting the Latino community by integrating the dual immersion program into Munger Mountain Elementary School and by establishing the Hispanic resource center. Our Latino community is critical to this town, and moving forward we need to focus on providing additional affordable housing or rentals, enforcing fair wages and developing additional resources for families.
What sets you apart?
I care deeply about our community, and my family has been here since the 1930s. I have observed and participated, firsthand, in the growth Teton County has experienced, having served over a decade on the Teton County Planning Commission and by spending 13 years on the Teton County Weed and Pest board as treasurer. I am also a proud lifetime member of the Elks B.P.O.E. 1713 Lodge, an Army veteran and a small-business owner. My family has given back to the community by building baseball fields, sponsoring sports teams, women’s softball leagues, events and through volunteer work. Now I want to make an even larger impact by donating my time and efforts to help Teton County navigate the issues, fears and frustrations it faces. A vote for me is a vote for you.

Why are you running for office?
I am driven to serve you, the citizen, and seek to promote the health and welfare of Teton County. I strive to create opportunities to thrive for the broadest possible cross section of the community. I’ll strive to protect our natural resources, including water quality and wildlife. And I’ll strive to protect key elements of our history. I will support ongoing efforts to build hundreds of dwelling units restricted to the local workforce in areas close to services and schools. I’ll guard against threats to our rural areas. I will strive to support families by creating more access to early childhood education and ensuring our transportation network includes the choice to drive, bike, walk or take transit.
Taxes should match the needs of the community. I identified some needs above. Revenues come from 2.32 pennies of sales tax out of every six levied on transactions for goods other than groceries. The town and state receive the rest. We levy 6.879 mills of property tax, down from 9.154 in 2018. In addition to the needs above, I support adequate compensation for employees and sound maintenance of public facilities.
Growth threatens our water quality, wildlife, agriculture and open space and is forcing out the middle class. Unprecedented levels of high-end residential and commercial development are driving property values through the roof and posing an existential threat to our character. We’ve taken some actions to mitigate the impacts of growth but need to do more, like address loopholes in our land development regulations and scrutinize mitigation rates to ensure we’re not being taken advantage of by big money.

We should ensure Hoback [forms] a water improvement district for safe drinking water. We should act quickly to follow through on recommendations from the ongoing water quality assessment and master plan to address the projects that will most effectively improve and protect our water quality. This may include hiring a new staff position. Voting yes on the specific purpose excise tax (SPET) water quality item that will be before you this November will lay the foundation for fast action.
The Travel and Tourism Board can be both. Over the past two years it played an important role dampening the impact of the highest levels of tourism we have ever experienced. However, in the past, the Travel and Tourism Board has promoted our area in ways that likely increased tourism and made the area more attractive as a place to live. The TTB is part of the solution when the board’s efforts stabilize tourism, boosting it when it drops off and mitigating its impacts when it is booming. We are a high-quality destination because of a unique mix of wild and scenic grandeur and a wide array of recreational opportunities. Preserving all elements of this unique mix means visitors will pay more when they visit and stay longer.
We can support members of the Latino community by ensuring they have opportunities to thrive alongside all members of the community, including opportunities to occupy deed-restricted housing, partake in all health and welfare services, utilize all public facilities and access quality education. They may need support to ensure they have equal access to these opportunities, and the county can help by funding key no-governmental organizations such as Voices JH, One22 and Immigration Hope. We can also ensure we have bilingual employees in key, public-facing positions, including public health and public safety.
What sets you apart?
I strive to be as thoughtful as possible no matter who is before the commission and what their issue is. I love listening to people across the socioeconomic and political spectrum. I take all concerns seriously and value the wisdom of the community. No other candidate can match my experience in county government that includes six years as a planning commissioner and almost eight as a county commissioner, giving me critical insight into land use planning and budgeting, which are the two most powerful tools for protecting the health and welfare of the community. Living here my entire life frames what I value about the community — our independent character and our wild and natural resources — and why we must work to protect those values. I look for the best in everyone, and I honor every individual.

I will continue to oppose this proposed highway until an environmental impact statement demonstrates meaningful benefits, relative to the financial and environmental costs. With the analysis available to date, I remain deeply skeptical of the promised benefits, very concerned with the destruction of unique wetlands, opposed to any traffic signal and design that would worsen traffic on an already congested Highway 22. WYDOT and the county should fold review of the proposed highway into the nearly simultaneous environmental review soon to be initiated for rebuilding and potentially widening Highway 22. Responsible planning requires at minimum that we know the future width and number of lanes of Highway 22 before spending more public funds analyzing the proposed new highway and that we combine the planning processes into a single analysis.
The state’s antiquated taxation system has created a property tax crisis in Teton County, especially for residents on fixed incomes. Among other shortcomings, the state relies too heavily on the property tax. The recent COVID-driven spike in property values has worsened the situation. The county is doing the best we can with limited tools. For example, the County Commission recently reduced the property tax rate by 1/2 of a mill and allocated $2 million to the state’s new county-optional property tax relief fund. However, we need more tools to create a more equitable system of raising revenue to provide the services that make this a great community.
Luther Propst
Conservation challenges are complicated and don’t lend themselves to ranking. The most pressing local environmental quality challenge is water quality, while the most pressing local growth-related issue is the future of the county’s approximately 4,500 acres of state trust land. At the other end of the geographic spectrum, global warming drives pervasive threats to both wildlife and humans.
I would continue to advocate for clean water countywide and especially in Hoback. This involves several priorities, the first of which is to create a program to inspect and maintain existing septic tanks.
Yikes, it’s more complicated than this solution/ problem dichotomy. First, we have to better manage tourism so that it provides the optimal benefit to the community. The Travel and Tourism Board has made some significant steps to focus on sustainable tourism that does benefit the community. Two examples include the ongoing Sustainable Destination Management Plan, which promises to create a framework for better managing tourism, and the board’s decision in March of this year to award $1 million to Friends of the Bridger-Teton to better manage visitors. Tourism is an important part of our economy and community. The challenge is to manage tourism so that the community benefits. For this to happen, the Travel and Tourism Board has to be part of the solution.
The most important step is straightforward: Ask Latino residents and then listen to their answers.
What sets you apart?
(1) Experience: Four years on the County Commission and more than 30 years helping communities all over western North America protect their assets and community. (2) Time and inclination to work full time as a county commissioner. (3) Commitment to protect what makes Teton County special: our wildlife and water quality as well as a diverse and strong community. (4) Willingness to swim against the tide when necessary.
When you vote, please remember that approving more market-rate housing means more second homes, more remote workers and more houses that locals simply cannot afford. In today’s real estate economy, if we want to house our local workers we must focus on deed-restricted workforce and affordable housing. Please carefully scrutinize claims that “unleashing the market” will solve our housing crisis.

Teton County depends upon taxation for valuable county services. As commissioner, I will work to ensure that taxes are used responsively and resist making property taxes so oppressive that valued citizens are forced to leave the community. During my time with Teton Conservation District I oversaw the reduction of the public mill levy request by 25%. At the same time, voter approval of the voluntary Conservation Tax rose from 62% to 83%. Valuable county services are the hallmark of appropriate taxation. I will conservatively review the county’s mill levy with the county staff and work with our state legislators in developing possible property tax relief mechanisms.
Maintaining our top notch water resources is a quality of life issue universal to all. Water is an indicator of the overall health of our ecological community. Taking strategic action now is imperative. If we look “upstream” the cause of our water pollution is our past planning and development. Updating the county’s Natural Resource Protection Land Development Regulations is long overdue. Effective LDRs are forward looking and prevent hugely expensive problems that can be avoided. We must stop privatizing profi ts and socializing all of the costs. Good LDRs actually provide more fl exibility as we strive to balance our ecology, quality of life and development, including the creation of more affordable housing.
Tom Segerstrom What’s the fi rst thing you would do to help improve water quality?
I would fi rst provide all necessary support to Hoback Junction residents striving to form a water district. A water district is critical for obtaining muchneeded state and federal funds. Addressing Hoback water quality is also part and parcel to the Comprehensive Water Management Plan that is currently underway for the entire county. Water quality remediation must be planned and strategically completed. Finally, we must examine what actions and inactions have taken us to this point and stop doing them!
The Travel and Tourism Board is bound by legislation to promote tourism. Thus, it can only play a part in the “over-tourism” issue. I applaud TTB’s current steps to foster sustainable destination standards and promote responsible tourist behavior. That said, sheer numbers of visitors can offset those efforts. I will join other commissioners and state legislators in exploring new ideas such as sharing the ever increasing TTB revenues with other Wyoming communities for their promotional needs that dovetail into statewide tourism. Another idea would be to explore the use of TTB funds to support a “Wyoming Worker Visa Program,” thus incentivizing other Wyoming communities to provide seasonal workforce personnel to Teton County, who would help spread tourism among other Wyoming communities in the state.
I am committed to listening to and working with the Latino community and all other underrepresented and underserved populations in Teton County to ensure that they are not only represented but also able to thrive. I think a crucial initial step in doing this is recognizing the diversity of skills, knowledge and experiences that our historically marginalized communities bring to Teton County.
We need to be actively exploring their knowledge, skills, and the interests they possess, whether that is as farmers, journalists, health care workers, respected professionals, etc., in their home countries that can be appropriately placed in our community and institutions to maximize opportunities that empower them and strengthen and enrich the community as a whole.
Outreach and promotion of involvement in local government by underrepresented and underserved portions of our community are also important. Translators being on hand for candidate forums is an example of a step in the right direction. Like the private sector, the county government needs to actively seek out and recruit qualifi ed Latino and other underserved peoples for departmental jobs and stakeholder groups, thereby embedding underserved people into the workings of the county. Another idea that needs to be explored is on-demand START transportation services for day care and after-school activities, providing time for further engagement in our community.
What sets you apart?
No other candidate has the deep blend of applied ecology, small business, public administration and local land conservation knowledge and experience that I possess. I fi rmly believe that I am uniquely qualifi ed and pragmatically oriented for the job.
