A Promise To Listen And Be Available To County Residents. Co-hosts Steve Williamson and Karen McClelland welcome Nikki Check, District 3 candidate for the Yavapai County Board of Supervisors. She is running against incumbent Donna Michaels, a fellow Democrat.
The former mayor of Jerome and the founding director of the Southwest Wine Center at Yavapai College, Check has also served on several non-profit boards including the former Verde River Basin Partnership, the Verde Valley Wine Consortium, and the Verde Valley Forum for Public Affairs.
With an extensive background in agriculture, Check values the mostly rural nature of Yavapai County. Among the many issues she considers important are protecting the watershed, transit, attainable housing, and connecting trails.
“It’s really important to be a good listener as a leader,” she says. “You’re really representing people. They trust you. And I’m willing to go the extra mile to make sure people’s problems get addressed to the best extent that they can.”
