MONTEZUMA COUNTY CANDIDATES
As a fifth-generation Montezuma County resident, I have deep roots in this community and a lifelong commitment to its future. I was born and raised in Mancos, graduated from Mancos High School and San Juan Vocational/Technical School, I’ve been married to my high school sweetheart for 38 years. I have two children and three precious grandchildren. My daughter and her family live here. I understand the culture, history, and priorities of this county because I have lived them. Over the past 28 years, I have helped run successful local multi-million-dollar businesses, 15 years coaching high school basketball, and 20 years of community service on several public boards all in Montezuma County. I spent 10 years in the semiconductor industry from 1989-1998, mostly at Intel, a Fortune 500 Company. Together, these experiences have given me practical leadership skills that I will bring to the Commission. --Rodney Cox--
