JOHN DAY- Grant County Commissioner Sam Palmer was recently on KJDY’s Coffee Time. Palmer did not opt to run for his Commissioner’s seat this last election year, as he decided to run for a position on the U.S. Senate. When asked what the future holds after Commissioner-Elect John Rowell takes the seat next month, Palmer said many people are encouraging his continued involvement in politics:

“I’ve had a lot of people throughout the state ask me to run for various positions. I’ve been asked to run for County Judge; I’ve been asked to run for County Commissioner again; I’ve been asked to run for Secretary of State; I’ve been asked to run for a couple of different House seats…”

Palmer said he recently signed on to work with Home Health and Hospice in a casual status through Blue Mountain Hospital District.
