Hello,
Thank you for all the support. As you know, I threw my name in the hat for Gem County District 3 Commissioner. This is a 4 year term.
I have an agricultural background… grew up on a farm (livestock & crop management) in Southern Minnesota. I worked my way through college at Mankato State (University of MN campus) & traveled throughout the United States in different career paths.
My husband, David Mackey & I moved to Emmett in 2003 from Salem, OR to raise our family in a small town & a rural community. Together, we started an Electrical Contracting Business (Mackey Electric) in 2003 to provide quality electrical service & construction to this community. We also renovated an old building downtown in 2005 & opened a coin-operated laundry (Lily Pad) in 2007 and a restaurant / family billiard hall (Toadstool Billiard Café) in 2008.
We have been involved with the Gem Chamber (specifically Cherry Festival) and Gem County Fairgrounds for more than 15 years.
David passed away this last June.
I made a promise that I would continue serving our community by running for Gem County Commissioner.
My education & experience qualify me for the position. Emmett was once a thriving, self-sustaining community! I believe it can be again with leadership that has our children & grandchildren’s best interests in mind when making decisions that effect their future with regards to managing growth & taxpaying citizen $$$.
When people ask me Why I am running for Gem County Commissioner??? The answer is simple… I can make a difference in the quality of our community’s future… assuring transparency and accountability within our local government!
I believe in doing the RITE things spelled the wrong way.
It starts with RESPECT,
acting with INTEGRITY,
TEAMWORK, & in the end
there is EQUITY…which is different for each person in our community!
My family chose Emmett, ID to be our home more than 20 years ago. Please vote on May 21st & choose me… Suzanne Mackey for Gem County Commissioner!
Thank you!
Suzanne J Mackey
