Ricky Martin – Incumbent

Martin was raised in Terral his whole life, except for the two years he spent in the Army during the early 70s.
For 13 years he worked for Rash Barrett.
Martin loves his job as commissioner and loves hard work.
He says his only frustration is the supply-chain shortages that has interfered with work. That and high gas prices has have hindered some of their maintenance on the roads.
He is looking forward to the improvements on the horizon for his District.
There will be two new bridges built within the next couple of years as well as improvements on Union Valley road.
One of the bridges to be replaced is the one out by the Corley place. He says it has needed an upgrade for some time.
The other is the one on Fleetwood Creek.
He wants voters to know he has done the best he can with the limited funds commissioners receive for each district.
