GREENBRIER COUNTY W.Va. (WVDN) – Brad Tuckwiller is pleased to announce his candidacy for County Commissioner, seeking to complete the unexpired four-year term of the late Blaine Phillips representing the Central District.
Tuckwiller returns to the ballot after serving as Commissioner from 2005–2010. This was a productive time for the county during which many resident improvements, tourism enhancements and taxpayers’ savings were brought to benefit the residents and visitors.
During his previous term, he was a founding director of the WV County Risk Pool, reducing the county’s property insurance costs by tens of thousands of dollars. Tuckwiller initiated the collaboration with Fayette County to begin what is now the Meadow River Trail, was an early advocate for the Humane Society as manager of the county’s animal shelter, was an early proponent of the TIF (Tax Increment Financing) program for White Sulphur Springs wastewater treatment plant, and brought systematic analysis to the county’s budget process.
Tuckwiller has three children, Leah, a graduate of West Virginia Wesleyan, Kinder, with a degree from the University of Tennessee and Elizabeth, a graduate of Fairmont State University. Regrettably, only one of the three currently lives in Greenbrier County, a circumstance with which too many families are familiar. As Commissioner, Tuckwiller will work to create an environment to keep our families here through actions available within the guardrails of county commission authority.
Tuckwiller’s extensive experience in banking, insurance, real estate and management will be an asset to the County Commission and the people of Greenbrier County. Tuckwiller asks for your vote to bring his skills and vision to the County Commission.
