Platteville Mayor Adrienne Sandoval announced her run for Weld County Commissioner seat in District 3, according to a June 20 news release.

“Weld County has a rich history of supporting our agriculture and natural resources, defending our water, promoting our small businesses, and balancing our county budget every year,” Sandoval said in a written statement. “But continuing that tradition of leadership requires a full-time commissioner from District 3 who actually shows up for work every day.”

“I pledge to be that county commissioner,” she wrote.

Sandoval is running against Lori Saine, the current Weld County Commissioner for District 3. Since 2018 Sandoval has served as mayor of Platteville. She is a fth-generation native of Weld County.

“I’m running for County Commissioner because the communities of Weld County District 3 deserve a fresh, optimistic, and principled voice on the Commission,” Sandoval wrote. “ I want to protect our Weld County way of life by being accountable to you in every single day of public service.”

Weld County Sheri Steve Reams, Weld County Commissioner Mike Freeman, Weld County Commissioner Kevin Ross, and former Weld County Commissioner and County Clerk Steve Moreno have endorsed Sandoval.
