Shawn Remington, a small business owner and electrical contractor, is running as an Independent for County Commissioner of Fayette County, Ohio. His journey began in 2020 when a bike ride with his oldest daughter revealed a dangerous trail mishap due to poor connections. Over the next year, Shawn identified cost-effective solutions but encountered resistance and a breakdown in communication. This experience led him to champion a community think tank model for open dialogue on tax dollars, separating facts from opinions. Encouraged by others, Shawn is running as an Independent, reflecting his experiences thinking as a libertarian, Democrat, and conservative. He aims to foster transparency, collaboration, and practical solutions for the community.
