My name is Mike Wadsworth. I am running for Archer County Commissioner Pct. 2. I have lived in Archer County my entire life, most of it in Holliday, but currently I am in Windthorst. My experiences include working for the City of Holliday, operating a Wireline truck, and currently operating Wadsworth Insurance Agency.

I am married to Katherine Jackson. I am the proud father of Garnet and Anna Jackson, and five grandchildren, which we get to enjoy on a frequent basis.

Hello Archer County, I’m Greg Anderson. I am a proud graduate of Archer City High School and Midwestern State University, where I received a B.S. in Criminal Justice. The education I received, combined with 15 years of Law Enforcement experience give me a clear understanding of the criminal justice system from initial report to incarceration and all of the options in between those. I have been married to the same beautiful woman for 25 years. Together with Kevin Harris, and Bradley and Harley Anderson, we have lived in Archer City for nearly 23 years. I am a member of First Baptist Church of Archer City, where I was blessed for years to work with young people, helping them prepare for the challenges they will face as they leave the relative safety of Archer County.

I am very excited to be running for Archer County Commissioner, Precinct 2. A good portion of Archer County knows me, but for those of you who don't, I would like to give some insight of who I am. I was born and raised in Windthorst. I have been married to my wife, Summer for almost 19 years and we have three children together, Katy, Wyatt and Charlee. I am a business owner and have been employed with the county since 2015. In that time, I have had the unique opportunity to serve under three different commissioners and feel that this would be a great asset to Archer County. Being a business owner and always having to work a budget, I know how to get the best return on your tax dollars and will actively pursue federal and state Grant's. I know my WORTH and the WORTH of my employees. I truly believe that I could be a great asset to precinct 2, its roads and the city's that reside in it. I would truly appreciate your vote and do my best to earn it. Thank you and God bless.
