Building a Better Future

🏔️ Building a Garfield County Our Kids Can Call Home

Garfield County isn't just a place on a map—it’s our heritage. But for our children to stay and raise families here, we need an economy that works year-round, not just during tourist season.

I’m W. Ralph Perkins, and I’m running for County Commissioner to ensure the next generation has a seat at the table.

📉 The Reality We Face:

• The Seasonal Gap: Unemployment jumps from 4% in the fall to 16% in the winter.

• The "Out-Migration": Too many of our young people are moving away for stable work.

• The Housing Squeeze: Over 54% of residents feel the pressure of rising housing costs.

💼 Why W. Ralph Perkins?

I don’t just talk about these issues—I live them:

• 5th Generation Rancher: I’m committed to protecting our agricultural roots.

• Small Business Owner: I understand budgets, payroll, and seasonal shifts.

• 29-Year Educator: I’ve spent three decades preparing our youth for the future.

• Proven Leader: Current School Board President (5 years) and Travel Council member.

🚀 My Commitment to You:

1. Year-Round Stability: Moving beyond a "summer-only" economy.

2. Budgetary Discipline: Bringing fiscal responsibility to the county level.

3. Pro-Family Growth: Focusing on better-paying jobs and attainable housing.

Let’s build a county where our kids don’t just visit for the holidays—they stay to build their lives.
