Candidate: Tyler Mobley

Dear Citizens of Baker County,

It is with profound respect and a sense of duty that I humbly announce my candidacy for County Commissioner - District 3. As a lifelong resident of Baker County, my roots run deep in this land, enriched by generations of family history and a community spirit that has profoundly shaped my character and values. As my wife and I raise our family, we are wholeheartedly devoted to maintaining the rural charm and the values of our close-knit community, ensuring Baker County remains a beloved haven for our children and future generations.

Our county's logo states, "Preparing for the Future ~ Preserving the Past," and that resonates with me on a personal and spiritual level. I am dedicated to advancing our community into the future without losing sight of our cherished heritage, upholding the principles that make Baker truly exceptional.

Over the last fifteen years, I have been fortunate to acquire a wealth of knowledge and experience across various business sectors. This background, combined with my conservative values and expertise in accounting, positions me well to contribute significantly to our county's leadership. I believe in the stewardship of our resources and the prudent management of our fiscal responsibilities, guided by a moral compass that prioritizes the well-being of all our citizens.

In my journey, the teachings of Christ have been a guiding light. As Philippians 2:4 teaches us, "Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others." This scripture encapsulates the heart of my candidacy: to serve not just with an eye toward progress but with a compassionate regard for the welfare of every member of our community.

I invite you to join me in this endeavor to safeguard and nurture the interests of Baker County. Together, we can forge a future that honors our past while embracing the opportunities of tomorrow.

I am profoundly grateful for your prayers, support, and trust as we embark on this journey together.

Warm regards,

Tyler Mobley
