Bringing People And Jurisdictions Together. Steve Williamson and Karen McClelland welcome Donna Michaels, the incumbent who is running for re-election as Yavapai County Supervisor for District 3. Michaels is a Democrat who won office in 2020 in a district that is dominated by Republicans two-and-a-half to one.
A self-professed policy wonk, Michaels addresses her position on a variety of issues such as immigration, OHVs (Off Highway Vehicles), forest land, cattle grazing, mining, water, and the many difficulties faced with competing stakeholders and overlapping federal, state, county, and city jurisdictions.
She explains that her job is to work for the entire county. Not just her district. But whatever the issue, she views it through the lens of the Constitution saying, “We are elected to uphold the Constitution and I don’t and will not be carried away from my principled base to get a vote.”
