Three Park County commissioners are up for reelection in 2022. One incumbent has filed, one commissioner said he intends to file and the third reportedly is not running again.

Park County Commissioner Dossie Overfield made clear she is running for reelection on the first day of the open filing period. However, Commissioner Joe Tilden reportedly is not running for reelection in 2022.

Commissioner Lloyd Thiel said he will file for reelection on May 17.

“I plan to run,” Thiel said. “I’ll file on Tuesday.”

Park County opened its filing period Thursday, May 12, for local candidates to officially proclaim their candidacies for county offices in the primary election on Aug. 16, 2022.

Several people have filed with the county clerk elections office. Candidates have until May 27, 2022, to file with the county clerk.

In addition to Overfield, Angie Johnson, Scott Steward and Keith Dahlem filed their paperwork to run for Park County commissioner. All of the current commissioner candidates identify as Republicans. Three commissioner seats are available.
