Bevin Taylor served the Teton Regional Economic Coalition as Program Manager throughout 2022 and 2023. In this capacity, Bevin was responsible for supporting economic development adopted by the Teton County Economic Development Plan, which aims to support existing local businesses, start-ups and prospective businesses resulting in job creation, higher wages, commitment to sustainability and conservation. Bevin also managed the Idaho Tourism Commerce (ITC) grant, Teton Valley's largest state funding source, which provides funding for local nonprofit events. Additionally, she handled the marketing and management of The Geo Center and its educational programs, while identifying and securing additional grant funding and sponsorships for TREC, the Chamber of Commerce and The Geo. A resident of Driggs, Bevin relocated to Teton Valley from the Washington, DC area. There she was Regional Director of Hope for the Warriors ®, a national nonprofit serving wounded service members and their families. In that role, she lobbied for fiscal support and the long-term needs of injured service members and their families. Bevin also managed various major fundraising initiatives including the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC), and organized the inaugural Got Heart, Give Hope ® gala, now in its 14th year. She actively sought to bring greater credibility and national visibility to the former grassroots organization, by earning the “Best in America” designation by the Independent Charities of America, as well as accreditation by the Better Business Bureau’s Wise Giving Alliance. Bevin earned her BA in Business Administration from the University of North Florida and her MBA in International Business from the University of Portsmouth in the United Kingdom. Prior to her involvement with TREC, Taylor worked in various capacities for the Teton School District 401 and the private education sector. Taylor lives with her husband and two daughters in Driggs and enjoys all of the outdoor activities and natural landscapes that Teton Valley offers. They can often be found in Teton Canyon, hiking with their overzealous golden retriever.

Kim's connection to public service began long before she ever sat in a county office. Kim grew up near Boulder, Colorado, where the mountains were not scenery in the background. They were part of everyday life. She hiked, rode horses, and spent as much time as she could outside. In the summers, she went to her grandparents’ cattle ranch in northeastern Wyoming, where she learned to fish, hunt, and understand the rhythm of rural life. Those experiences shaped her, and taught her to respect land, water, work, weather, animals, and the people who depend on all of it. After graduating from Colorado College with a degree in biology, Kim followed that pull north. She planned to spend one year in Jackson, Wyoming. One year turned into five. She guided fly fishing trips across Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming. She led destination trips in the Bahamas, Mexico, and Belize. She taught fly fishing schools across the country and competed at a national level, including in ESPN’s Great Outdoor Games. That life taught her how to read water, how to listen carefully, how to solve problems in real time, and how to work with people from all walks of life. In 1993, Kim chose Teton Valley as home. She built her house along Fox Creek, where she still lives today. A few years later, Kim bought the historic Victor Emporium. For 26 years, she co-owned and operated that business. She and her partner served more than a million shakes, weathered two recessions, and employed hundreds of local teenagers, many of them in their first job. Running the Emporium taught her what small business owners already know: every dollar matters, every employee matters, and every decision has consequences. Later, she brought that same work ethic into county government. For the last eight years, Kim has served as Clerk to the Board of County Commissioners. She has worked through elections, county budgets, court responsibilities, personnel issues, public meetings, and the daily realities of local government. She has seen county government at its best. She has also seen where it falls short. That is why Kim is running for County Commissioner. Teton County deserves leadership that understands this place, understands county government, and is willing to do the work. She has spent the last eight years inside county government, paying attention to what works, what does not, and what needs to change. Kim is running because she believes Teton County can grow while still protecting the character, land, and community values that make this place worth calling home.

Dan moved to Jackson Hole in 1984, ostensibly to take a winter break from a career path in science, and never really left. After a few years working in the restaurant world, he took a job on a residential construction crew in Jackson. After 5 years or so he decided to make that a more permanent move, and began his own construction business in Teton Valley, Powers Builders Inc. He continued with this business until 2025. Dan moved to Driggs in 1990, buying an old house on Wallace Ave. He built a spec house on Easy Street in Driggs in 1999, and sold that to his now wife, Lynne Wolfe. They still live in that house. He has been involved with several non-profits and has been an active volunteer on trail maintenance and building projects through TVTAP, the USFS, and Mountain Bike the Tetons. Improving our trail networks is another legacy of which he is proud. Dan's first real political involvement was with the Driggs Planning and Zoning Commission, to which he was appointed in the late 90s. Around 2006 he was appointed to a vacant City Council seat, serving for about 2 years. Following that he ran for and was elected Mayor of Driggs in 2009 and served in that capacity for a 4-year term. Following that he chaired the Driggs Urban Renewal Board for 4 years. Dan thought he was done with politics, but when the opportunity to apply for the County Commission seat vacated by Mike Whitfield arose, he decided to take on the challenge. He was nominated by the Teton County Democratic Party and then appointed by Governor Little. He has been serving as a County Commissioner since April of 2025. In that capacity he has served on boards such as Eastern Idaho Public Health, Teton Basin Water Users and the Driggs Urban Renewal Board. Dan has also been active working with local non-profits and youth on improving the county's juvenile ordinances. Serving as a County Commissioner has been a great honor, and Dan hopes to be elected this fall to continue the work.
