Two-way race: turnout matters
Kelceymarie Warner D
Kelceymarie Warner is the only non-Republican on the ballot, so this is a two-way race and turnout is what matters. Be realistic: Davidson won this seat by 15 points countywide in 2024, a presidential year.
Method rule 3 · How we pick
What this office controls
The three-member Board of County Commissioners is Ada County's chief policy-making and administrative body; it adopts the county budget, sets the county property tax levy, and hears land-use and property-assessment appeals. Commissioners must live in their district, but every Ada County voter votes in both commissioner races on the ballot. (source)
